Windows 10: Is a computer with Windows 10 Home compatible with a Wacom tablet?

I’m looking to get a laptop that will be compatible with a Wacom graphics tablet, the Wacom website says their tablets are compatible with Windows 10 but the laptop I’m looking into getting says it runs Windows 10 Home.


is Windows 10 Home the same as Windows 10? Will a Wacom tablet work with a laptop running Windows 10 Home? Any insight on this issue would be much appreciated.

Using my Wacom Tablet on Windows 10

Hello Hayley,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description of the issue, I understand that Windows is unable to configure the drivers for Wacom driver.

I would suggest you to start afresh with the installation of the Wacom driver. Follow the below steps.

Step 1

Clean the temp folder to delete temporary files that are automatically created during the installation or uninstallation of any software application.

• Press the Windows + R keys simultaneously to initialize the
  Run command box.
• In the available field in the Run command box, type %TEMP% and press
  Enter.
• On the opened Temp folder, press Ctrl + A keys simultaneously to select all the contents of the folder and press delete key on the keyboard.
  
  Note: In case the operating system displays a message saying that any particular object cannot be deleted, skip the object from the deletion process and allow the windows to continue deleting the other contents of the folder.
• Once the TEMP folder is emptied, restart the computer to allow the changes to take effect.

Step 2

If you have the installation package for the Wacom driver, install the driver in compatibility mode. Please follow the below steps.

• 
  Right-click on the setup file and click on "Properties".
  
• 
  Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select previous Operating System from the drop down.
  
• 
  Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.
  

Please get back to us with the results and we would be happy to help you further.

Thank you.
