Hello,
I connected Acer KB-101A with PS2-USB adapter to the Win10 machine. System recoognise it as:

Device USB\VID_0000&PID_0002\5&262ed807&0&1 could not be migrated. […]

Device USB\VID_0000&PID_0002\5&262ed807&0&1 could not be migrated.

Last Device Instance Id: USB\VID_04B8&PID_0142\5&262ed807&0&1
Class Guid: {6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}
Location Path: ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(PCI0)#ACPI(XHC_)#ACPI(RHUB)#ACPI(HSP1)
Migration Rank: 0xF000FFFFFFFF0023
Present: false

System detects it only when back switch is on 1 or 3 position.
1-Enhance XT, 2-AT, 3-Standard XT
Is any chance to use it in modern PC?

Those adapters just reroute pins between ports, and will only work if the device (mouse, keyboard) supports both USB and PS/2 protool.

Other devices should be used with a "full" (with chips) adapter.

Most adapters that look like this (USB+2 PS/2 connectors) should work. Other (like this (USB+"hunchback"+2 PS/2 connectors) should work too.

You can bought these things almost everywhere. If you're in doubt, go to your local store and ask to check it before buying (because maybe your keyboard is strange enough to NOT work with those things).
