Windows Hello completely missing after Win 10 install

Upgraded to Win 10 on 3 yr old Lenovo desktop. Installed K-Byte fingerprint reader and no option to use Hello appears, either with or without the software provided. Windows Hello appears to be nonexistent on the PC. I also have an older Authtentec fingerprint reader that does not work either although BOTH biometric devices appear in the device manager, with up to date drivers and are claimed to be working properly. Any help or advice appreciated.

Not all biometric devices are Windows Hello compatible, even if they are Windows compatible. Many are not.

You'll need to find a device that specifically states it is ready for Windows Hello.
