Mikrotik RB951G does not appear in the Netinstall program, what should I do?

Question

Computer networks

Hello. I'm trying to flash the mikrotik RB951G through the Netinstall program for the experiment.
There was a problem because mikrotik does not appear in the interface of the netinstall program, I do everything according to the instructions.
I turned off the anti-virus, turned off the firewall too, added the program to the exceptions in the firewall, just in case. I downloaded netinstall of the same version as the firmware on Mikrotik, by the way they are the latest and latest 6.43.12 (Stabel).
I turn off the Mikrotik, as per the instructions, I keep the button pressed until the last one, but the device does not appear in the Netinstall list.

I figured it out ... I don’t know what’s the matter, but I did the same thing on another PC and everything worked out, I see something in Windows all the same. Or maybe because I had the one on which it didn’t work out was a laptop, and the one on which everything worked out was a stationary PC.
Although in the laptop all network connections (wifi, virtual network connections, bluetooth) I cut down except for one - the network card, everything didn’t work exactly.
But on a stationary one, everything is without problems and twice.

First you need to reset it mikrotik has two reset modes, the first is the factory settings with presets from the factory, that is, the factory configuration of the NAT DHCP firewall, etc. and a full reset without any settings, the router will only be available at the poppy address, in this mode it needs to be flashed see photo
No Default Configuration - do not create a default configuration
