If you plug in your USB-C Luna hardware unit into your Windows PC and receive a notification similar to the one below, we would recommend checking that your USB-C port is compatible with Luna Display.

If Luna is not able to connect when the Luna hardware is plugged into this port, then it is possible that the Luna hardware is not supported in your PC's USB-C port. Please note that the Luna hardware should be plugged into your GPU, so it can leverage the power of your PC's GPU for graphics acceleration. USB-C ports on motherboards will likely not work.
