You should not have to pay anything as any software purchase includes the support necessary to get it installed or people wouldn't buy it - and they're getting educated about that software here now.

If the software won't' run on WIndows 10 then you should get your money back. Is there an error or specific failure behavior which give us clues to help resolve it? Did you right click the program installation Setup or.

If so then can you create a new Admin Local Account to see if it will install without problems? This will quickly tell you that your account is corrupted, upon which we can help you fix it or move into the new Account.

Next Right click task bar to open Task Manager. If necessary show More Details On Details tab look for msiexec. This does everything from one handy place, with the added benefit of allowing you to see what's installed and sort it by frequency of use or age.

In Windows 10, you can also do a little piecemeal sweeping up by right-clicking outdated items in the Start menu and selecting Uninstall from the context menu which appears. Use this method, though, and you'll quickly hit a bit of a snag Microsoft loves to give you software of questionable usefulness. So sure is it that you will absolutely love that software, it neglects to offer the option to uninstall it at all — try to use the right-click trick to excise, for example, 3D Builder or Groove Music, and you'll be out of luck.

You can, however, strap yourself in and use PowerShell to get the job done. Find it in the Start menu under Windows Powershell, right click it and select 'Run as administrator', then type the following to remove in this example 3D Builder:.

While rolling up your sleeves to remove core Windows components manually is certainly one way to go about it, there are easier ways. Windows sensibly locks down certain files that are in use; if you try to delete a program that's currently running, for example, it'll instead pop up an error message moaning about the file being in use.

You might also see unfriendly and unhelpful messages like 'Access is denied', or talk of sharing violations. This issue has been lessened somewhat by User Account Control, thankfully, but it still happens. Unlocker is a handy solution to locked files — install it dodging the automatic toolbar shenanigans in the installer , dig up the file you're trying to delete, right-click it, and find Unlocker in the context menu.

It'll tell you what programs are currently accessing that file, and allow you either to kill the offending processes risky or remove the locks less so.
