How to use your old CanoScan Lide 20 on Windows 10 64 bit

If you happen to have that old flatbed scanner,  Canoscan Lide 20, and intend to use it with windows 10 64 bit, you might find it difficult to get a working driver.
Well, there is a work around. Use VueScan, a scanning program that will automatically install your CanoScan driver. This software is developed by Hamrick.
It enable me to keep the functionality of my old Canoscan, which is no longer supported by Canon. You can program the Button on the scanner to meet your preference.
This software is stright forward, easy to understand user interface. It allow you to adjust various setting, it saves to pdf and tiff.
But the price is not cheap. More than a half price of the Scanner it self. I hope someone find this post useful. Thank you
