Recommended Software Components
The pco USB 3.0 driver supports Windows 7/8 (x86 or x64) and
Windows XP x86 operating systems. Microsoft does not support USB
3.0 natively for Win 7 or older Windows versions. Therefore use the
manufacturers’ supplied xHCI host controller driver. By contrast, in
Windows 8 Microsoft does provide a native generic xHCI Driver but
pco recommends using the driver from the corresponding
manufacturer of the xHCI host controller. Currently there are seven
different vendors producing USB 3.0 host controllers:
