Yeah, I’m guessing he reinstalled CS6 from the original media and didn’t install any updates.

It’s an extension, not a codec, and it only allows viewing the file not opening the file in CS6.

But Nikon calls it a codec. Here's a link to the download page:

I always thought it was a .dll file, at least for Sony, but that's not really important.

SqBear, if you're reading this, the problem is probably that your new operating system doesn't have or doesn't recognize the file it needs to work with Nikon RAW files. This is especially likely if you did a clean new install and not an upgrade.

Can you see RAW file images in File Explorer? If not, you need to install a file that enables it. This file might also be used by CS6.

Did you have to reinstall CS6 after installing W10? If so, you might just need to update CS6. This is especially likely if you installed from a disc or an old download. Most software needs updated after installation.

And give W10 a chance. It is one of Micro$oft's better operating systems. M$ was due, as since it went GUI every other OS has been good-excellent, and every other one has sucked:
95: bad
98/98SE: good/very good
ME/2000: horrible, still DOS-based/better, still buggy
XP: excellent
Vista: give me a break
7: outstanding
8/8.1: nice try--it's a PC, not a mobile device
10: outstanding

One of my laptops is a Gateway, built like a little tank, running Windows 98SE. Can't go on-line with it (no anti-virus software) but otherwise works great with my old programs....(notice I didn't say "apps", old computer, old language!)😊

Hadn't considered lack of an AV app, I mean program. (But I confess I usually say app anymore. It's just easier.)

I remember upgrading to 98SE. I was thrilled, thinking an OS couldn't get much better than that.

For a command line, I like ConsoleZ. Have used it for a number of years. I understand Microsoft has a new Terminal for command lines. I tried it, but just so familiar with ConsoleZ (it serves all my needs), stuck with it.

My 10 year old custom built for me as a working. wedding photographer acted up (failed power supply) I figured it was time for a new one. Purchased a Windows 10 desktop to replace my well used & very familiar Windows 7 Photoshop 6 combo. After 3 weeks of struggling I decided I should go into a home for the quick onset feeble minded or return the computer & fix my old one. Sent it back, fixed my old one for 1/4 the cost & am, once again, content. Windows 10 sucks. Just sayin'......my opinion. Thanks for the vent.

Your opinion, but as someone that writes software for a living and has built several computers I can say that Windows 10 is easily the most stable and easy Windows platform yet. Any time you move to a new system there will be a learning curve.

Can't agree more. Previous versions often 'blue screened' but I have a W10 system which I use for CCTV and email and I can't recall the last time it crashed.

For those who don't like the tiled, smart-phone-like start menu, I always suggest Classic Shell (http://classicshell.net/ .) This free application allows you to replace the menu with W7 style, and switch easily between them.

The downside of W10 for old applications is that Microsoft - Like Apple - have an increasingly difficult time keeping backwards compartability with older applications and hardware. In addition, new features on new system encourage upgrade. So the problem is really Microsoft moving their system forward, and Adobe refusing to update old software.

To be fair, I also understand why Adobe brought in the subscription model - it is such a great application there was huge piracy of Photoshop (and perhaps lightroom also.)

Unlikely I know, but it is a great shame Adobe's lowest subscription model (just shy of £10 in UK) includes so much. That is positively a bargain for a pro, but for many amateurs, especially those on a modest fixed income, it may not be. Why not a £6 sub for Photoshop only or Lightroom? There is a discount for Students, why not one for those on a pension?

Indeed, Use NX-D it is free and rather good at a number of things. It is free. You can import tiff files into CS6 for further minor adjustments if necessary.
