Windows should have no problems and it's only a few months old. I have found from the most part age has no problems with W10.

What do the system requirements say?
I've noticed that many software packages will say something like "Windows 7 or later".
With the disk "only" two years old, I would suggest that yes, it will install on Win10.
The experience I am going by, is installing software much older than that (5 or 6 years) on a Win8 machine.

Because W10 makes it easy to revert to your previous version.

DPP is available free from the Canon USA website, so won't have to acquire a new disc. As I recall, you have to provide a valid Canon serial number in order to download.

Both DPP v3 and v4 work with Windows 10. You can download the latest versions from Canon's website. V4 is for newer camera models and currently does not support raw files from many older models.

A serial number is requested to download v4, but any valid serial number works, even unsupported models.

Good luck.

You can download a DPP software package from Canonusa.com. The only requirement is that you supply your camera's serial number. I have DPP on a Windows 10 computer and it works perfectly. Good Luck.

I went to Canon site and downloaded the Win8.1 version, works fine, the old Win 7 version that I had installed didn't, same with ZoomBrowser, got Image Browser for 8.1, works fine, Bob.

Correct... I use DPP with Windows 10 w/o a problem. And, I got the copy I use from Canon because I wanted the latest version.

Don't know the Canon software, but I'm running Win 10 on three machines now and I have had no trouble with any software. Even some 8-10 year old watermarking software just loaded and ran. Also anything that was already there ran perfectly.

I've never had such a flawless upgrade in the 30+ years I've been working with desktop and laptop computers.
