Download Software? Installing On Surface Pro With No Disc Drive

[Deadly Cyclone]

I have the Roxio Game Capture HD software installed on my current Windows 7 laptop but am looking to move it to my Windows 8 Surface Pro. The Pro has no disc drive. Does Roxio provide a place to download the software directly?

 

I read the sticky but don't believe I have a support code to contact Roxio directly. We got the unit in as a press unit. I may need to get my cd key again too unless I can find it on the already installed software on my other PC.

 

As a side note, anyone ever use the software on the Surface Pro? How does it work?

 

Thanks!

[Deadly Cyclone]

Yeah, CD, my Surface has 128GB of room, a good deal more than 10GB.

 

I'm not sure you can even buy computers with hard drives/flash storage in the MB anymore.

Download the SP2 update below, it's the full program, you'll need to use your CD Key for installation.

Your windows surface is a PC or a netbook?

 

What are the specs?

 

Do they meet minimum system requirements for the software?

What version of Windows is running on your Surface? If it's Windows RT, that may not work, as it's not listed as a supported version of Windows.

Ok here is the PC information hopefully this helps

Sorry about that....

[Deadly Cyclone]

Got it installed and working. Thanks guys. We'll see how it goes. Seems to run fine so far.

[d_deweywright]

You're Surface is running Windows RT, and I'm guessing that's the issue you're having because Windows RT will not run non-"Metro" applications, like the Game Capture HD Pro program. So, there is no "fix" for this. You need to be running a supported version of Windows, which is most anything besides Windows RT.

[mistersmith_6]

So there is no way to change it from RT?

[d_deweywright]

That would be up to you to purchase a copy of non-RT Windows, but I have no clue whether you can run Windows 8 (non-RT) on your tablet. And that would be a complete, clean re-install. Personally, on a tablet like that, I'd be hesitant, and would do a lot of homework first.

[d_deweywright]

Can you connect to your laptop from your Surface Pro via your network? From there you should be able to copy the contents of the disc over and install it. Otherwise, you could get a USB connected drive to attach to your Surface Pro.

 

As for the serial number, I'm not sure if that shows up anywhere in the application. I usually make sure to write any serial numbers like that right on the disc that requires them so I don't lose them. If you registered your software with Roxio, you should be able to find it online.

Did you check the minimum system requirements for the Software & Hardware?

 

2GB free hard drive space for installation. 10+ GB free recommended for video recording.

All I see are SSD Drives in megabytes for surface tablets?

From the Surface Pro specs:

 

Surface Pro has a hard drive that comes in two sizes: 64 GB and 128 GB. 3

 

I doubt whether these tablets are really useful for gamers

[Deadly Cyclone]

Thanks guys. I guess I could copy the files via dropbox from my PC maybe? I'd just pop in the disc, open it up in My Computer and copy the files right?

 

The surface pro meets the specs, and surprisingly works for games (Starcraft 2 runs on it) but I don't game on it. I wanted to record on it though so I didn't have to lug my huge Dell laptop around.

CD, as Walt noted above, the Surface Pro comes in two flavors of drive size, 64 or 128 GB. Both of which start out with more than 10 GB of free space. Not sure where you saw MB as you note in your first post.
