I am not familiar with what you refer to as "dev console for VSCODE". <br>
Did a quick search and I see there are some videos on that.<br>

I would think MSW10 or 11 would provide the drivers that they get from <br>
Samsung. Do you really need newer drivers? Other than maybe a security <br>
issue?<br>
<br>
All my hardware is old. I have used mostly Dell for the last 20 years. <br>
New round will be built using parts from New Egg.<br>
<br>
I don't really need anything mobile. Was mostly curious.<br>
