Trying to Develop Simple USB App and INF missing

Question

Hello,
Been few years since I developed for PC but now it's time for me to get back up to speed and what better way than to build a simple USB app.
So i have installed VS 2019 C/C++ wdk sdk etc sorted the missing Spectre library and the Win/USB template i used builds and runs. :-)
Problem is the INF file mentioned in the template readme is supposed to include is missing:

USB-App-Test-1.inf
Text file used for WinUSB driver installation. After creating this driver using the template,
you must update the hardware ID from "USB\VID_vvvv&PID_pppp" to the hardware ID of the USB
device that the driver should be installed on.

Plus i am not sure as am USB coding novice what this app/template is supposed to do anyway, so i need some contributors please to hop on this thread until i can a least read a USB device ID/Stats etc.

Once i am rolling i am sure that the pieces will make sense as i have done lots of multithreaded comms/protocol apps in my past.

Many thanks in advance. IK
