STEPS
1) Firstly we have disable digital driver signature verification by going into the advanced startup options for that First, press win + I to launch the charm bar, and click Change PC Settings at the bottom. Then, go to General, and scroll to the bottom of the page, click Restart Now button under Advanced Startup section.
Note :- In Windows 8.1 and Up, the Advanced Startup option has moved to Update and recovery section under Recovery.

2) The computer reboots to a startup menu, in which click Troubleshoot and click Advanced Options at next screen, Choose Startup Settings next, and click Restart button. The computer reboots and prompts another menu to choose. One of the items is to Disable driver signature enforcement. Press number 7 or F7 to continue booting to Windows 8 with digital sign enforcement disabled.

3) Now you have disabled Driver Signature Verification for the current boot, now you can Install any driver including VCOM Drivers, just follow the below guide from the below link for installing the VCOM Drivers, it is as same as Windows 7.

Rooting is essentially giving you administrative access to your device. Ibig sabihin po nyan e mas lalo po nating makakalikot(explore) yung phone natin.

Eto po ang advantages at disadvantages nya;

ADVANTAGES
* Full control sa phone
* Makakapag-install na ng apps na need ng administrative rights like Greenify...
* Pwede na mag uninstall ng mga bloatwares to save memory(storage), ram and etc.
* Makapag lagay ng custom recoveries at makapag-custom rom
At madami pa pong iba

DISADVANTAGES
* Nakaka void ng warranty
* Maaaring makasira sa phone dahil may na uninstall ka na hindi dapat ma uninstall

Yan lang po alam ko, try google po para mas maintindihan nyo
