Does the HD Native thunderbolt work with Windows?
Does the HD Native Thunderbolt box work with Windows? On a PC with a Thunderbolt 3 port using one of the TB3 to TB2 adapters, like the Apple adapter.
Or do you need to use the PCI card for HD Native on Windows?

Re: Does the HD Native thunderbolt work with Windows?
Pretty sure it does as I remember a protoolsexpert.com video showing a Windows laptop with TB using the Avid box very nicely. You might also shoot an email to guitardom as the Pro-Tools-PC.com website offers TB as an option so I bet he has tested it

Re: Does the HD Native thunderbolt work with Windows?
yes native thunderbolt works on windows but some systems have a secure boot option that needs to be disabled. FYI Native thunderbolt on windows isn't officially supported by Avid.

Re: Does the HD Native thunderbolt work with Windows?
Well, it's a good thing Avid discontinued the PCIe version of the HD Native card.

Re: Does the HD Native thunderbolt work with Windows?
HD Native works with Thunderbolt on Windows, but only if you have Pro Tools HD licence on your iLok AND Digilink I/O licence too.
It will not work with Digilink I/O licence on its own. - I wanted to use HD Native with Omni as a Windows interface for other audio software, so I bought the Digilink I/O licence in addition to normal Pro Tools licence, but it only works if you also have a Pro Tools HD licence on the iLok. So I have cancelled purchase of the Digilink I/O licence. |

Updating this thread, to confirm, that yes, HD Native Thunderbolt DOES in fact work on Windows.
FINALLY, got my Focusrite Red 8Pre in today after being back ordered for a month. Hooked it up to my HD Native Thunderbolt box...had to reboot a few times. Protools didn't seem to want to play at first..but now it's running smooth as silk, at a 32 buffer also.

Re: Does the HD Native thunderbolt work with Windows?
I use the Apple TB3 to TB2 adapter. My Lenovo P50 laptop has a TB3/USB-C port.
The Apple TB3 to TB2 adapter works great with my Focusrite Red 8Pre, Clarett 8Pre and the Avid HD Native Thunderbolt box. Doesn't like to hot plug though, so I usually just shut down or power off the peripherals before unplugging the Apple TB3-TB2 adapter.

Re: Does the HD Native thunderbolt work with Windows?
Just tried using Ultimate with a third party hardware (Rednet PCIe) instead of HD Native. It actually performs better at lower latency.
HD native is not needed unless you need more than 32 I/O. |
