Cisco VPN on Windows 10 Pro
I lost Cisco VPN installation when I upgraded to Windows 10. I telecommute, so I have to use old Windows 7 laptop. I read that Cisco VPN does not work on Windows 10. Why? What are the options? Is Cisco or MS working on it? This is a serious setback.

John, I can only use Cisco VPN, I have no choice.
I tried solution one above, but the program did not install, saying another installation is in progress.
I will try again.

I don't use Cisco VPN client because they do not usually keep up. You will need to look for patches for the VPN client.

None of the two options work for me. they keep telling an installation is in progress.
I have stopped Windows 10 Upgrade on my 2 machines and may rollback on 3rd machine to Win 7. When I tried to install Cisco VPN, Windows 10 displayed "this software is not supported"

I get message below on selecting upgrade icon on Windows 10.
So it's official that Cisco VPN won't work. I need a sureshot solution, not a hack. I am holding back Windows 10 upgrade. Would it work in compatibility mode? What is Microsoft's stand on this?

Agreed, John.
But as I said before, I have no control on server side software, which is Cisco. Interestingly, I used Shrew VPN which imported Cisco .pcf files and that worked! I used the free version.
Would that scenario work with NCP? If so, how much does it cost?

Thanks. I am OK so far with Shrew Soft. Would people on server side(work) know that I am using a different client than Cisco?

Thanks, that's all I need to know. I can now cheerfully march on to Windows 10 after some testing. It's good to know that there are options, I was just focused on Cisco.
@vakils - Thanks. I realized toward the end I was hung up on NCP because I happen to like it. But Shrew Soft is fine as well, so good luck with it.
