Q: New Airport Extreme

I am attempting to swap my old AE for a new one on my PC using windows 10. Unfortunately, the Airport Utility does not pick up my new AE to allow me to do anything with it.

 

Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Windows 10

Windows cannot be used to set up and configure the current version of the AirPort Extreme. You will need a Mac running a current or recent operating system or an iPhone or iPad to set up and administer the AirPort Extreme.

 

From Apple's Specification sheet on the AirPort Extreme:

Once you have the new AirPort Extreme set up and operating, a PC should be able to connect to the wireless network generated by the AirPort.
