How to install Quicktime on Windows 10

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 (and then a couple of weeks later, paved the machine straight to Windows 10) I’ve been unable to install Quicktime, from Apple. This is rather annoying due to a couple of software programs I would like to use.

I use Lightroom exclusively for managing my photo library, having had a digital camera for 18 years now, I have a couple hundred thousand photos (250,052 right now), and Lightroom provides the best way to manage, manipulate, and upload those photos to Flickr and Facebook. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, managing photos, and requiring Quicktime, but I also use Lightroom to organize some of my GoPro videos, and LR kept throwing a warning that I need to download Quicktime. Every time I would go download from Apple (version 7.7.8 currently), it would download, and upon installation it would fail, saying that the operating system wasn’t supported.

I installed GoPro studio tonight, as I had recently paved the OS so I needed it again to edit a video from my bike ride this weekend. Upon installation I was once again prompted to install Quicktime. I knew this wasn’t going to work as you can’t install Quicktime on Windows 10.

Well that all changed tonight. To install Quicktime on Windows 10, try downloaded version 7.7.6 from this link. I downloaded v7.7.6, and was able to get videos working fine. Hope this helps you get Quicktime working on Windows 10!

One thing of note, as I installed v7.7.6, I unchecked the automatically update Quicktime and Apple software, just in case it tries to update itself to a newer version that won’t work on Windows 10.
