This page shows supported versions of the NI PXIe-5644R/5645R/5646R Instrument Design Libraries with Microsoft Windows and Phar Lap operating systems. Reference this information to ensure you install the correct version when upgrading or updating your operating system, or when migrating or porting code to a new system. Using incompatible versions may result in errors, the inability for Windows to recognize or detect and then find a driver for your device, or missing devices in Windows Device Manager or NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
You should consider the compatibility of the application with which you intend to utilize the NI PXIe-5644R/5645R/5646R Instrument Design Libraries, not just the operating system.
