Windows 10 and Streets and Trips

Had S&T installed on old laptop with Windows Vista. Have new laptop with Windows 10. When I try to install S&T a box appears asking if I want this program to make changes to my computer, yes or no. No is highlighted. Yes is in regular type. What happens if I respond "Yes"? I'm wondering if S&T can be installed on different computers using the same cd. I'm over my head with this stuff.
Thanks for your comments.
  • S&T works fine. The antique GPS receiver it shipped with is junk. Instead using a native USB gps, they glued a really old serial port receiver onto a USB to serial adapter. It is that adapter which is not supported by Windows 10.

    OP here. Thank you all. S&T is up and running.


    I have streets & trips 2013 on my ACER netbook with windows 10 and it works just fine until I plug the antenna into the USB and click on it to start the trip and a window comes up and said could not find it.
    Have you tried it with the antenna to see if it will work ?
    S&T worked fine before when I had windows 7, it quit working after I did the free windows 10 install.

    Ok, Windows assumes you are stupid and wants you to know changes will be made to your disc when you install software. also when you clean, or ... Now in truth, this may be a good thing because there are others out there (not you and as you will see I'm not being patronizing or anything here) Who want to install software on YOUR computer (see why I said I really mean not you) Without your permission, or even your knowledge.

    So when you are INSTALLING software, You answer "YES" when you are running a program like Malware Bytes or CCLeaner you answer YES.. but if it pops up and you do not know why You answer NO and then run your Anti Virus scan.

    This is a feature of 7 and above as I recall.. I know I get it on my 7 Box.. Every time I start it since there is a program that does make changes

    Pain in the.. Well, it's a pain let's just put it this way, at least on that box.
  • It saddens me that S&T is no longer being marketed. I used to buy it every other year and found it to be a handy, quick and easy reference to have on my desktop. I know there are other alternatives on line but I found it to be fast and easy to check out alternative routes, campgrounds, hotels, restaurants, etc. at destination locations.
  • The message is a standard warning message generated when any program tries to install software. It's a warning in case something tries to install something without your knowledge. In this case since you are wanting to install the software select yes.

    I have heard that S&T doesn't work on Win 10 but I don't use it so don't know for sure.
