I've just downloaded the trial, but can't get it to install due to "Supported windows version not found". I'm running Windows 10, all updates done. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Home.

64-bit or 32-bit? The Affinity apps require a 64-bit OS.

To see full details of your Windows version, hold down the WinKey (the key with the Windows logo, to the left of the space bar) and press and release the R key to display the Run dialog. Type or paste

winver

into the box and then press ‘OK’.

You need to update to version 1607 or later. Version 1511 is from late 2015, so it’s already more than three years old.

It’s a newish thing. Serif had to move to a newer version of .NET to fix a crash at startup, and that newer version (.NET 4.7.2) prevents installation on versions 1507 and 1511 of Windows 10.

In the Settings app, go to ‘Update & Security > Check for Updates’ to get the latest available version.

That's the weird thing - this is a fresh install from January this year (by a pc repair shop...) I've been checking for updates and it was showing as fully up to date, it was only after you tipped me off that I learned I was years out of date. Downloaded update from Microsoft website, looking forwards to being able to check out Affinity photo now, been recommended by many people. 

 

Thanks again for your help

That is indeed weird! The ‘15’ in the version number indicates 2015: everyone should be on at least 1803 by now.
