I use a national instruments PCI-GPIB card in a Windows 10 PC, works just fine. Usually can find them <$100 on eBay.
I've also used a HP/Agilent 82357A (or B) which does USB-GPIB for those cases when you need it for a laptop or something else without a pci or pcie slot. I understand the USB ones in particular are prone to being counterfeited, but evidently most of the counterfeit ones work even though they're not original HP/Agilent. There are various other options out there, for instance prologix (and possibly others) make a GPIB-ETHERNET converter which will convert GPIB instruments to network instruments.
