John Rostron Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I have not used my laptop for some time, so I allowed it to update my Windows 10 system to ver 10240. I then downloaded the latest versions of Affinity Photo and Designer. In each of these I got the message "Supported Windows Version not found. Checking with the system dialogue, It tells me I have a 64-bit operating system on a 64-bit processor. Both the old versions of Photo and Designer still work OK, but invite me to update, which I did.

Current releases of Affinity require at least 1607, so I would suggest updating again. The current version of Windows 10, version 2004, is build 19041.388.

I had assumed that when Windows was updating my system (on restarting), that it would be loading the latest version. I will try again.

John A reasonable assumption but not an accurate one - I've had my my fingers burned that way too! My OS has been more than a year out of date.
