Mavis Beacon teaches typing

I HAVE WINDOWS 10 AND IT WON'T DOWNLOAD. YOU WOULD THINK WITH NEWER  PROGRAM IT WOULD ACCEPT IT.

WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS ??

 
Hi Anna. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP here to help you.

It shows the last WIndows it was supported on is XP and Vista.

You can try installing and running it in Compatibility Mode. Right click the installer's .exe before installing, and/or the program .exe once installed, choose Troubleshoot Compatibility, follow the prompts to test a different Windows Mode and then set the app to install or always run in that mode.

If not then here are 10 free typing programs that are supported by WIndows 10:

Can you right click setup then click 'Run as administrator'?
