Assuming you purchased an earlier version, I believe you just need to go into you account page where your purchases are listed and click "download" for WindowsBlinds and that should automatically download WB 10.

I recommend reverting back to Default Windows GUI, deactivate the WB license in WB UI, Uninstall WB, reboot, THEN install WB 10. Yeah, I know, a lot of steps but from my experience, it was needed to get the correct version number to show in About WB and in the systray. YMMV
P.S. It was worth it, I'm really liking the new look.

I just installed Windowblinds 10 on my Win 8 laptop and everything works as it should. The interface is different and you get 3 new skins.
If you do install it follow Wiz's instructions. I didn't and everything worked out anyway.

I didn't and it showed the beta version and I rebooted twice to make sure.
Rule to follow for me. Listen to Wiz. lol. BTW. Now I past my activation limit so have to wait for them to be reset. First time in 8 1/2 years so not to bad.
