If your Sony NWZ A818 is not being recognized by Windows 10, it may be an issue with the device driver. The device driver is software that allows the operating system to communicate with the hardware.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

  1. Connect the Sony NW on a different USB port on your computer, sometimes it may be a problem with the USB port.
  2. Check for Windows updates and install any updates that are available.
  3. Uninstall and reinstall the device driver.
  4. Try connecting the device to another computer to see if it is recognized.
  5. Downgrade your operating system to a version that has been tested and confirmed to work with your device, such as Windows 7, 8 or Vista.
It's important to note that some devices may not be compatible with newer operating systems and may require a downgrade to an older version of the operating system. It is always recommended to check the device's official website or the manual for information on which operating systems are supported and compatible.
If you decide to downgrade your operating system, it's important to make sure that you have a backup of your important files and data and that you follow the instructions provided by Microsoft or your computer manufacturer to ensure a successful downgrade.

    Would you think it is expensive to downgrade to windows 8/7any thoughts about going about this

    Downgrading from a newer version of Windows to an older version can be more expensive than upgrading to the newer version, as it may require purchasing a new license for the older version of Windows and possibly new hardware that meets the minimum requirements for the older version. Additionally, any software or drivers that were designed for the newer version of Windows may not be compatible with the older version, which could lead to additional costs for new software or drivers. If you're considering downgrading, it's important to weigh the potential costs against the benefits to determine if it's a good decision for your specific situation.

My sony walkman nwz-a818 is frozen

On the back of the player is a very small hole. Take a paper clip end and gently push into the hole to re-boot it. Try this and recharge for a while.
