drivers not working?

Thank you for your response!

I have tried #1 - it didn’t work.   The USB ports recognize other devices, just not either of my two SD Clips. 

I’m trying to avoid Windows 10 (not sure why) - buy I may end up resorting to that. 

I can’t believe this thing is kicking my butt like it is!   I’m usually the one helping other people with computer issues. It’s very frustrating.
