I think the GW-52 works with the standard built-in Microsoft serial to USB driver. I recently bought a Windows 11 machine and GW52Util just worked without the need for any drivers. I'd expect the same on Winows 10.
The GT-31 requires a specific version of the Prolific driver IIRC. Unfortunately, I don't recall what version.

The older drivers do work on Windows 10 because we had to do it for Weymouth Speed Week last year.
You just need to be remove the newer driver that Windows has a tendency to install, prior to re-installing the older version.
I don't recall the exact process that we followed to get the required driver working on Windows 10, but I can confirm that it is possible.
