Windows Logo Program Test Categories

Updated: February 13, 2012

The Windows Logo Program contains nearly 100 categories. This page lists all available logo categories and operating systems.

If you do not see a category for your device, you can still get your driver signed through the Unclassified category. Devices and drivers that are submitted through the Unclassified category are not eligible to use any of the Windows Logo Program logo artwork. For more information about the logo requirements for each category, see the Requirements and Policies.

Information on Windows Logo Program categories is also available in the Logo Categories Webcast.
