On Windows you may need to install drivers. On the Fx0 this can be done by enabling "Install PC programs" in device settings on the Fx0 then running the executable inside the mounted storage drive. Drivers for other models may be found online. If you can’t get recognized by ADB and can’t find drivers, try using Linux.
