Nikon Capture Nx2 Software

I have been using Nx2 for many years and I am happy with the results. I recently purchased a new computer with Win 10, downloaded Nx2 and started using it. Everything was OK until I went to save (as a NEF) a processed file. Got a message that this couldn't be done. Nikon confirmed that Nx2 was not compatible with Win 10 and wouldn't be updated. I can save the modified photo as a jpeg or tif, but I lost the ability to save the modified nef with the history of changes. Has anybody else had this problem and have they found a work around?

Did you update NX2 to version 2.4.6 from the NX2 site. It works with Win 10

I use Capture NX2 every day on Windows 10 with no issues at all. I too love this software.

Did you load from a disc or do a download. I wonder if you need to have version 2.4.7 for it to work correctly. My disc was an earlier version but the download is 2.4.7. Just guessing.

I have version 2.4.7 and when trying to save I get a "alert 7" when saving a nef.

What about your statement that Nikon confirmed that Nx2 was not compatible with Win 10?

There are several options:

You could use this handy little conversion program that converts your D750 NEF files into a NEF file that Capture NX2 can read.

Another option is to use the Nikon provided free Capture NX-D. You would open the D750 NEF file in NX-D then convert the NEF file into a TIFF for editing in NX-2.

NX-D has a configurable button (Open with) that automatically converts the NEF file to TIFF then opens NX-2 together with the converted file. Editing from NX-2 then is as usual.
