So I got me another iMac 2011 (to have one with i7, just to discover the ******* seller exchanged the GPU for the base model with 512 MB) and it has Win10 installed. That is fine.
How can I use the IR remote with it? (The aluminium one, but I guess it should be the same with the plastic one too.)

Win was not installed via Bootcamp but directly.

I installed the IRDA option (this is now a special option in Win10) but can not see it in the device manager. It seems I need drivers for the remote.

L.E.: Thanks to Brigadier I could fetch the driver. But the only thing the IR does is start/stop videos in YT and VLC. Is this normal? (Under MacOS I also can regulate the sound volume.)
