Where to download student edition 10.0?

Question

I had a student evaluation version installed but now I have a huge problem. Because of a disaster with upgrading to Windows 8.1 I had to reinstall everything then a driver update caused my computer to go black. I am being forced to reload and reinstall everything.

I cannot find where I can re-download ArcGIS 10.0. I have been wasting all morning on this. When I go to the student evaluation it asks me to activate mine but it doesn't show where I can download it. I have homework due and drastically need to get this reinstalled ASAP.

Can anyone out there help me?

We still use XP in my office. Our GIS Team will be the last to upgrade our office is only going to 7.

Windows 8 is fine.  I use it at home and it works great.  I installed ArcReader at home and brought home a database and pmf that i generated at work on an XP machine.  One of my clients wanted to get an 8.1 tablet and wanted to know if it would work.  which it did.

There just have been to many problems with upgrading a system to 8 because the programs on your machine were not built for it.

However, the same has held true for many previous upgrades so this isn't particular to 8.  When we upgrade to 7 next month we will perform complete installs. Thanks for the help. I am definitely NOT going to reinstall 8 :mad:. My computer was originally running 7 but I had problems trying to map a network drive (through a VPN) and was told that 7 did not have the capability so I would have to install 8. I'll figure out that problem as soon as I figure out where to re-download. I was hoping there was a link online somewhere but I guess I will have to call IT at school...

I guess it is to late to tell you to not upgrade to Windows 8.  Windows 8 is great, but it is better to not upgrade to it from 7 or XP as it typically causes issues.

From what I understand you are only qualified for one student copy of ArcGIS

Where did you get your first copy?

Typically I thought students got them from their school.

The main student download on the ESRI site is for instructors.

If you have an ESRI Global Account you should be able to get a 60 day version here.

This might be what you had before.
