Windows 10: Installation of Windows 7 SDK on Windows 10 failed.

I am trying to install the Windows 7 64-bit SDK on a Windows 10 64-bit System. Why? Because I need to build a legacy application.


Let me first say that Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable is NOT installed on my system.


When I attempted to install the SDK I got this message box:




I pressed OK and followed the prompts with this result:



I went back again and used the link http://go.mcirosoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=187668 all I got was this "Oops!" message:




During the SDK installation I did click on the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable so that it would be included in the installation.


The log file contains these installation errors:

How do I install the Windows 7 64-bit SDK on my Windows 10 64-bit system.

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate

You can change that in Windows Update settings. I have it set to download but notify to install.
