Windows Version Compatibility for Universal Wings

Universal Wings

There are two hardware versions of the 2x10 and 2x20 Universal Wings. Both versions of Universal Wings work with both Windows XP and Windows 7 through the USB port, but only the most recent version of the hardware is able to be docked with a Windows 7 Ion console.

To identify which version of hardware is in the Universal Wing, look at the USB port of the wing.

(Not pictured) Universal Wings with a red-orange USB port is Windows XP-only. This version is uncommon, but can cause confusion with Windows 7-compatible Universal Wings
