My Lenovo P50 with Windows 10 Pro has a Thunderbolt 3 port and the Intel Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt Controller, and works wonderfully with the HD Native Thunderbolt box. I use the Apple TB3 to TB2 adapter hitch work without issue also. Ialso have a 34mm Express card slot whInch presumably will work with the appropriate Express card to a PCIe adapter.

Assuming you could find an external Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe chassis, expect it to work fine with with the HDX cards as well. The problem that I am aware of with the Sonnet Tech Chassis is that it doesn’t work with the Avid cards on either Windows or Mac with the TB3 version. But they say that the TB2 version does.

Magma says that their TB2 expansion chassis will work with Windows 7/8 and Avid cards. I would expect that they will work with Windows 10 also, since Win10 includes TB drivers as part of the OS.
