How can I manually build support for fingerprint login in windows hello?

Question

Recently, I bought a fingerprint scanner "live20R" from ZKTeco, and this fingerprint scanner does not officially support windows hello. So I want to build supports for windows hello for my daily windows login. I obtained the official SDK of this scanner and I wondered whether windows hello can recognize it as a biometric device after some works to be done. Or maybe I can implement a fingerprint identification API to achieve this function? Nonetheless, I'd like to know if there's a way to achieve that. Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

Hi,

As far as I know, if the scanner does not officially support windows hello, that's hard to achieve fingerprint login.
External fingerprint scanner need drivers that support windows hello.

You could check the link below for Windows Hello biometric requirements to see whether your device is compatible.
