Windows 10 Using external fingerprint scanner to login to Windows 10

[Mahesha999]

I have Dell XPS 15 L502X, 2011 edition.
I also have a fingerprint scanner Nitgen Fingkey Hamster HFDU01.
I have installed biometric scanner drivers and ran the its diagnostic utility, in which I am able to capture the fingerprint.
I want to use this device for Windows login. Can I do that?
I just checked my settings and it says "Windows Hello isnt supported on this device." Also it does not show button for adding fingerprints.
I am running Windows 10 Home, version1803, OS build 17134.345.



I read online. There are articles asking to use gpedit to enable Windows Hello. But Windows 10 Home doesnt come with gpedit. So I added gpedit following this article. But now I realize that I dont have "Biometric" entry under "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components":



Is their any way to use this fingerprint scanner for login to Windows on my machine?

If you've verified the driver is the most current, and it still doesn't work. I would say Windows Hello doesn't support your device. You can get an Eikon fingerprint reader. They are usually pretty cheap and generally work with Windows Hello.

Yes, External Fingerprint Scanner is a good feature to login to Windows 10.
