The VuPoint FS-C1-VP-BX2 is a legacy device (originally designed for Windows 7 and Vista). Because it connects via a standard USB interface, it generally functions on Windows 10, but the original software suite provided on the CD is likely outdated.

Replace AA batteries. | Yes, but with specific conditions
If you cannot get the driver to work, remember the FS-C1-VP-BX2 writes scans directly to a microSD card.
Drawback: You cannot adjust scan settings (DPI, color mode) via PC, and you lose Twain integration for OCR software. But for basic document retrieval, it works.
