So since I have screwed up my registry before by trying command line functions without knowledge, I stopped guessing. I found some references for using msiexe.exe, but didn't understand them. Not being knowledgeable about launching files, I guessed and tried. In the mean time I found msiexe.exe was "the" windows installer for.

exe files I got back a message "This app can't run on your PC" "To find a version for PC, check with the software publisher". exe files in the installer to deploy the updates. I got the right package from the info in the registry.

I found the install package of Acrobat Pro in Windows\installer. Double clicking on the update files still did not work. When I finished I was sure I could deploy the updates. Using the registry of a Win 8.1 machine which has a working copy of Pro with all the updates, I made changes to and created all the registry items of Acrobat Pro to that of Pro on the 8.1 machine. Being determined to override Win 10's limitation on Acrobat Pro, I went back into the registry. msp files were no longer a file type to be recognized, so I added it through out the registry. To that goal I went into the registry, I noticed that. One of my goals was to install all the updates, which I couldn't. What's interesting is that after Reader was removed Acrobat Pro 8 became a recognized program however it is still not on the drop down menu.("Huh") That did the job, Acrobat Reader was totally non-functioning. Since I know that certain AV programs need a special program from the maker to totally uninstall, I looked om the Adobe website and found AdobeAcroCleaner_DC2015.zip. You can't do what you can in Pro in Reader. I have never liked Reader since I have had Acrobat Pro. However, when an unknown or non-particular file was launched, it still was opened by Reader DC. The association sort of worked when I wanted to open a particular file.

When I re-associated it with PDF files, it was listed as an "unknown application". I had to search the hard drive for it because it was not listed as a program under "All Apps"". Thank goodness Acrobat Pro 8 was still alive. Acrobat Pro 8.0 disappeared from the Default drop down menu and was longer associated with PDF files. Windows 10 replaced my default PDF program with Adobe Reader DC. Windows 10 recognized it and it had the proper file associations. Prior to a recent update of Windows 10, everything seemed ok with running Acrobat Pro 8.0. Acrobat Pro 8.0 was on the Win 7 Pro machine and carried over working. My Win 10 Pro is an upgrade from Win 7 Pro. You also should be aware that if you have an old PC knocking about that you don’t use anymore or have the license key, you might not need to purchase a key at all.I don't know whether these steps have allowed my Acrobat Pro 8.0 to work in Windows 10. If intending to purchase one of these cheap license keys you need to check that it will upgrade your cu rrent OS and you need to be aware that the key you receive might not be valid anyway. I also got a new key from the same source but when I tried to use it to activate the upgrade, it failed, again invalid. It appears you can upgrade using a “generic” key, following which you need another key to activate the upgraded OS.

I then tried to upgrade a pre-installed win 10 home laptop to win 10 pro. You cannot upgrade win 7 home to win 10 pro. It seems that this was because the laptop had previously had a free upgrade from win 7 home and retained the original license key. I tried doing this but it failed, saying I couldn’t do it.
