Simple question which all I find are grey answers online.

Will Acrobat 9 standard work on Windows 10 home?  Yes/No?

Thanks.

Correct answer Joel Geraci

Given what my criteria for "will work" means... No.

Support for Adobe Reader 9.x and Adobe Acrobat 9.x ended on June 26, 2013. Windows 10 was released on July 29, 2015. That means Acrobat Standard 9 would never have been tested or updated to work with Windows 10.

So... If you choose to run Acrobat 9 Standard on Windows 10 you should expect problems and no one will take you seriously when you complain about bugs.

Will it launch? Probably.

Will it work? Mostly.

Will it be reliable? Unlikely.

Acrobat 9 Standard ran on this Windows 10 Home system.  I just need to reinstall it from the CD.  How to I do that?

Not every question has a yes/no answer.
