ODAC 12c release 1 compatibility

Question

I am starting a project which will use Oracle 10g release 2 as database and Visual Studio 2012 for development. I would like to ask if the ODAC 12c release 1 would work in that scenario.

Also the development environment I will be using an Oracle 11g XE but the final product will connect to an Oracle 10g release 2 database.

Is it possible to use the ODAC 12c for both scenarios or would I have to work with ODAC 10g release 2? If this is the case, which versions of Windows are compatible with ODAC 10g r2?

Thanks!
