    Update: iTunes 12.3 Compatible To Windows 10
    Update: iTunes 12.2 Compatible To Windows 10
    Update: Fixing iTunes 12 Crashes On Windows 10
    iTunes 12 iconiTunes 12 is not only running on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, but iTunes 12 is also compatible to Windows 10 Technical Preview. The system requirements for iTunes 12 for Windows are a PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor, 512MB of RAM, 400MB of available disk space and Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store. It seems that there are no additional prerequisites needed, as it is for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 systems, e.g. the Windows 8 Media Center.

    Here’s how to proceed the iTunes 12 installation on Windows 10 Technical Preview:

    1. Download iTunes 12 and save the file ‘iTunes64Setup.exe‘ on your hard drive.
    2. After downloading open the folder where you save the file ‘iTunes64Setup.exe‘. Make a right mouse click on this file and push ‘Run as Administrator.

    3. After allowing iTunes to access your PC, the ‘Welcome to iTunes’ screen appears. Click on ‘Next‘.

    6. Check that iTunes is installed in the correct folder: …\Program Files\iTunes and NOT …\Program Files (x86)\iTunes (Kudos to AppleBlossom27!)
    7. Optional, after the installation has finished, you need to add manually iTunes 12 to the task bar or pin it to start screen.
    8. Open iTunes 12 and enjoy… 😉 

    I’m really delighted that iTunes 12 is compatible to Windows 10 Technical preview, running in dual-boot on my old Acer Aspire 1810 T with Windows 8.1 Update installed parallelly. What are your findings? Let us know and comment!

    Stay tuned! 😉

      Hi, I did follow exactly your steps ,but I am still not able to get iTunes running on Windows 10.
      I get an error, it says:

      Microsoft.VC80CRT ,type=”win32″ ,version=”8.0.50727.6195″,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b” ,processorArchitecture=”amd64″. HRESULT: 0x80073715.

      Can you help? I really don’t know, what to do.
      Thank you.

        Hi Ruth,

        have you already checked this post: https://miapple.me/fixing-itunes-12-crashes-on-windows-10/

        There’s another post mentioned, which I recommend to you:

        Deinstall all iTunes components and then install iTunes.

        Cheers,
        Gee Are

          Hi Gee, Thank you for your tips and advices, but I give up…. I followed every step, every link, you posted, I did reboot more than 20 times I spent now over 10 hours to find a way to install iTunes back on my laptop after upgrading to windows 10. I get always the same error message:
          Microsoft.VC80CRT ,type=”win32″ ,version=”8.0.50727.6195″,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b” ,processorArchitecture=”amd64″. HRESULT: 0x80073715. ,
          ” the iTunes Helper could not get started error 2 (windows 2),”
          when I ignored the error the program would install , when I try to open it says APPLE APPLICATION SUPPORT WAS NOT FOUND … error 2. and so on…always the same, then I clean and delete all the files from APPLE in the order you said, and check in Program Files , that nothing is there and reboot again …. and start from the beginning…. and again the same…..
          The bad thing is I have some programs that ONLY work with iTunes, that’s why I am so devastated … I don’t know what to do. Is there a way to fix this? I can’t go back to windows 7.
          Thank you.
          Ruth

            Hi Ruth,

            this is really annoying. I’m sorry that nothing worked.

            I got two last suggestions: Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) and try to install iTunes again.

      I also installed iTunes 12 on my Windows 10 technical preview PC and when I click on it to open it, it simply will not open. Literally nothing happens. I have had task manager open while doing it, and still nothing happens. Thoughts?
