start 10 won't install
Stardock Forums
Have Windows 10. Downloaded and paid twice for 2 licenses and still won't install. It says Windows 10 is not present neither is Windows 2016 Server.
Went thru all the cleanouts and reboots and keep getting same Windows error message. Never had a problem with any Start product before.
Appreciate reply.
Thank you.
It sounds like windows is applying a compability fix to the setup file in error and telling it that it is running on an older operating system. This often happens when you run an installer and then afterwards you get asked if it ran correctly. If you answer no then it applies a fix.
If you right click on the installer exe and pick properties you should check nothing is set on the compatibility tab. Renaming the installer exe should also bypass this 'helpful' Windows feature.
That was not the case. No such thing happened; never was asked if ran correctly. Plus this was a clean install on a new hard drive so no older system was ever on it.
The drive is an SSD, but is running fine and nowhere near full.
