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

Hey there.. After lots of updating, searching, reading for a few days coming up dry and everything I read seemed to be really complicated just to fix something that may not work and could keep itunes from never working and who knows what it would do to windows, lol.. I decided to tinker around my computer and figure out where everything was being downloaded with the new system. I was on windows 7 64bit and so it turns out 2 things were wrong. my norton was blocking a lot of stuff with it’s SMART FIREWALL GRRRR and Itunes somehow got installed in the wrong folder (program 86x). everything showed up including my phone just nothing could be accessed. I basically just uninstalled and reinstalled in the drive c program folder and made sure all the drivers got cleaned (when you unplug and re-plug in they just add on then can get confused :()up and updated and downloaded right, that bonjour was running (that was the issue with the update for the last windows 7 grr along with a missing snap in)… and everything else with itunes and after i ignored the firewall and restarted notebook. I got my itunes back up and running with my phone connected and synced to it can update!!!!! YAY.. My home group up and all device connected to it, my plug and play is working and my network address isn’t being blocked anymore lol. So in case no one has checked to see where theirs has downloaded you may want to. just make sure your compatibility box in unchecked for all itunes and bonjour service. not sure if this will help anyone, but since mine is up and running and i didn’t tweak anything, didn’t add anything, didn’t take anything away.. seems like a good solution. hopefully it will help you ! 🙂 GL!
iTunes 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.
