windows 10 and serato DJ, working

StoneReign 7:24 AM - 24 January, 2015
I download the tech demo and put it on my 2nd gen i5 laptop. it gave me the same trouble as windows 8 did, so I tried the same fix "Pioneer_DDJ_Driver_1.100" which is an ASIO driver and it worked. I have the DDJ-S1, using Serato dJ 1.7.3 BTW

Just info for the curious. As far as improvements I expect none since its the same hardware. just a different ui built on windows 8.
StoneReign 7:27 AM - 24 January, 2015
oh another issue I had is I had to plug in a mic into the pc mic jack. I guess there was no driver on disk for the internal mic, and windows took control of my controller input right away. for it to work, I had to give windows something else to play with.

On a related note, the hard drive on my Windows laptop unceremoniously crashed. That laptop didn't come with a recovery disk so I was stuck without an OS till I could get my hand on a Windows 8 license so in the meantime I decided to install Window 10 after I replaced the bad hard drive (with an SSD) and give it a go. So far I have installed Scratch Live and the newest Traktor, they both work without issues so far (after chasing a few software components). The only problem I encountered was that windows 10 does not include the 32 bit version of NET framework so you have install it to get SL to open.

If I'm not mistaken, the license for Windows 8 is written by OEMs straight into the UEFI. You shouldn't have needed a license key.

Also, Microsoft freely distributes the installation media for Windows 8.1: windows.microsoft.com

Obviously, this doesn't help you now, but I thought I'd share just in case any one else runs into the issue you had.

Got it, thanks for info. I'm already downloading an ISO file from the link you posted.

Too late for me to re-install Win 8 but so far Win 10 is working just as well as 8 did.

Serato and windows 10 are working together - mostly - saving records will not work: pressing the save button finishes recording but don`t save the mix. status line message: "recording was canceled". In addiidition when closing serato an error occurs...

anyone else running windows 10 with SDJ successfully? was the recording issue resolved?
Origdondada 12:13 AM - 30 September, 2015
I am having issues with stability. I have hp 4gb 750hard drive Intel processor. I have SL1 running on windows 10. I was told that it was too much music in the crates. Usually 10gbs or less is good. I am sure I may have about that much in the subcrates. when I drop music into #1 and 2 sometimes it stalls. any ideas. I am running Ion turntables with a Gemini Mixer.
Origdondada 12:14 AM - 30 September, 2015
Oh and I am running SL version 2.5

Yes, I'm running Serato DJ on a Windows 10 machine with 16GB ram, 1 TB HDD, and a core i7. All woirking a treat. I recorded a 4 hour live set last weekend with no issues.
wellzz 5:46 PM - 12 October, 2015
Sounds great! I on the other hand have been experiencing some issues while using a Rane 68. Without going into too much details, I would start playing and at random points throughout each test I would get a screeching noise that could make one's ears bleed. At that point all of the sound (minus the screech) would disappear. In order for me to play music again, I would have to reset the whole system. I tested this with 3 laptops; 1 running Windows 10, 1 running Windows 7 and another MacBook Pro. So far only the windows 10 has been an issue. Before upgrading to Windows 10, that same machine was running Windows 7 without problems.

I lost the ability to drag and drop files from outside folders into serato dj once I upgraded to windows 10. Oddly enough, SSL still allows me to drag and drop with no problem. I actually took my laptop ASUS N56VZ to the Microsoft Store this past weekend to have a tech examine the issue. Unfortunately they could not fix it and asked me to reach out to Serato.

for those wondering what I'm referring to, here is the process that I can no longer do.

1. open serato dj
2. shrink the serato dj window to allow me to see the desktop and other files.
3. grab an mp3 from my desktop and drag it into either a crate or any other window within serato where one should be able to drag and drop a song.

I have Windows 10 and drag and drop works, but it won't work if you're running Serato DJ as Admin (Administrator).

I use Foobar2000 for some library management. If it AND Serato are run as Admin, drag n drop works. If neither is run as Admin, it works. If only one is opened as Admin, it does not work.

Right click on the Serato desktop icon and check the "compatability" settings.

Thanks for that recommendation. I was able to remove the "Run this program as Administrator" and that allowed me to drag and drop into Serato 1.9.1

I use sl1 with scracth live ver. 2.5 it works fine with windows 7 I recently upgraded to windows 10 and sl ver. 2.5 wouldnt| install. So I installed ver. 2.4.4 and it installed, the thing is when playing the tracks the sound is distorted and cracking. I tried windows compatiblity but no luck. I read somewhere that Sl1 wont work with win 10. Can anyone help me? Windows compatibility worked on some of my other programs
Culprit 3:41 PM - 20 October, 2016
Windows 10 has some weird issues going on with the Admin account for sure. It's nothing Serato DJ related.

I tried to log into my Google accounts with the windows sync settings Under the admin account and it won't let you.

You're definitely right. It' w 10..

Crackpipe 6:16 AM - 15 November, 2016
SL and Windows 10 do not play nice. Thats why I sucked it up and bought a macbook.
mscratch 4:33 PM - 18 November, 2016
Von Are you using serato scracth live ver 2.5.0 with windows 10 ? If you are , try downloading ver 2.4.4 The latest ver 2.5.0 worked perfectly for me with win 7 but when I upgraded to win 10 it wouldn't work at all so I installed 2.4.4 and after running compatibility trouble shooter (windows) and running the program as administrator, it finally works . The only problem is the inner play mode doesn't work properly . I have to agree with crackpipe SL and win10 don't seem to run together to nice
RALSTON CHIN 7:35 AM - 1 December, 2016

it could be defective, try sending the unit back to pioneer for inspection. I had a problem with a platter and it was fixed under warranty.
RALSTON CHIN 2:08 AM - 4 December, 2016
It worked with my older TOSHIBA
