Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 for Windows 10

Hello

So i noticed that for me Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 are not installed. Only C++ 2008 and 2010 basic are installed.

My question is : does C++ 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 work with Windows 10 ? I don't know if 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 were made ONLY for Windows 7 SP1 so that's why i'm asking.

Do C++ 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 work with Windows 10 ?

I might need them for other apps like games and don't if i should install them or not. Please i would really love a fast reply because i really have to solve this.

If a program you install needs a particular version, it should prompt you for that.

There's absolutely no point in going looking and trying to find every single possible variant.

Dalchina i think Dragon Age Inquistion needs it. I have C++ 2008 and 2010 basic but i think Dragon Age needs SP1 also to run better.

Do C++ 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 work with Windows 10 ? I really need to know.

Dalchina thank you for the link, but i'm still a little confused.

It doesn't actually say there if 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 work with Windows 10. I'm assuming they do, but i'm not 100% sure.

Do you have 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 installed on your PC ? Just need to know if they work and if they don't cause issues on Windows 10.

Hi there

It Works -- software that needs it will install it -- no point as others have said in loading up on to the machine every possible option because you think "Something might need it!"

One of my machines has accumulated quite a few over the years, many from before its W7 was upgraded to W10. They all co-exist comfortably in W10. I've never heard of a VC++ redistributable that doesn't.

@Polo6RGTI & @Bree

Thanks guys for the screenshots, but shouldn't it actually 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 appear in control panel ? Appear as in separately both 2008 and 2008 SP1 or 2010 and 2010 SP1 ?

I remember back in Windows 7 in control panel it used to list all of them

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1

It listed all of them if i remember right.

@Polo6RGTI i noticed you also have nvidia driver 441.87 which is the latest. Can you please tell me, does the new driver work alright ?

I wanted to update my GPU drivers but i searched on nvidia forums and it looks like a lot of people have issues with 441.87 driver
