Hi
officially it is not supported. If you make sure that Framework 3.5 is active within your Windows 10 it might work (I got Civil 3D 2010 working with some minor issues).
The most secure way would be to install a virtual system like Virtual Box (>>>click<<<, free) or VmWare Player (>>>click<<<, free for private use), use Windows 7x64 and do your installation inside that system.
Good luck, - alfred -
I just had a similar issue... Hope someone has an idea. I use Autocad Arch Desktop 2010. pdfattach has worked fine for YEARS... Had a tech guy clean up my system today and know (for sure) he removed ABBYY FineReader, I also don't have Adobe reader. Up to now I've used PDF EXchange viewer as my default pdf viewer.
Anyway - after the tech guy 'cleaned up' my comp --- In autocad drawings NONE of my previously attached pdfs load now. And pdfattach - while 'appearing' to work - just attaches a single line. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Hi,
>> I just had a similar issue.
Similar issue to what? There was no issue mentioned here, just the question about compatibiliy of AutoCAD Architecture 2010 with Windows 10.
I guess you meant another thread, please let us know which thread you wanted to add your question and (hopefully) an admin/moderator will move your post.

Here is what worked for me. I Installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 and then AutoCAD LT 2010 for one of my user only to realize it wasn't working. Errors were unable load profile file, an issue migration file, cannot find acadlt, etc... Then I tried this,
I just checked yesterday with Autodesk by phone. AutoCAD will work with Windows 10 only if a subscription service. I was advised that no individually licensed/owned AutoCAD will operate with anything later than Windows 7.
Can anyone from AutoDesk confirm this fact?
I have a need to get off of Windows 7, however, we still have a project using AC2010.
If there is a way to migrate on-prem license keys to a subscription service, I would like to hear more about this.
As I said yesterday, and I do not work for AutoDesk, but I spent some many minutes waiting on hold and then did finally get what I do consider a very receptive and friendly response. I was told in no uncertain terms that they do not sponsor any more privately owned AutoCAD programs as of Windows 10. Back in the day, I had upgraded my computer to Windows 10 and AutoCAD would sort of work, but many of the commands would not. So I went through a process that Windows had at the time of restoring 7, which Microsoft did for me, as there was apparently a 30-day restoration process. So be careful and I have no idea if Microsoft will ever again restore Windows 7 from what once was a free upgrade to 10. The last few days, as in some seven or eight years since, I found the following, which I intend to explore but have not as yet -- longbowsoftware.com claims to have software that might make AutoCAD compatible with Windows 10. And vintagecad.com claims to still have versions of AutoCAD LT 2010 & 2015 available for purchase:
