They tell me that my board ( from the serial number ) uses the NXP USB but that this will not work with windows 7 only XP
They also said that the Cypress USB only works on windows 7 in 32 bit not 64 bit

I think you can ignore the advice about functionality under Windows for the moment. The board has a USB device attached to the FPGA that you can use for communication with your design. I've never bothered to use it.
The board also has an on-board USB-Blaster, and that does work under Windows just fine.
If Terasic has changed the USB controller, then they've likely changed the pin assignments on the board, but probably only in a few places. You'll want to make sure you download the schematic for the board revision you own, and determine the pin assignments from that. Do *not* simply use an example design you find on the web! (Including any from Terasic, without first reviewing it!)
Cheers.
