You can learn the ID using the Device Manager in the "Properties" of the equipment or you can use the values that we picked up in advance for your convenience:
PCI \ Ven_10de & Dev_1084 & Subsys_25701462
PCI \ Ven_10de & Dev_1084 & Subsys_25711462
PCI \ Ven_10de & Dev_1084 & Subsys_25721462
PCI \ Ven_10de & Dev_1084 & Subsys_3A961642

You can only download and install software correctly (if you have difficulty, then in method 1 you can see the installation process).
