Windows 10 support is planned however we do not have any estimate for a release date at this time.

You wrote the above in January (01-30-2015 05:08 PM), surely SanDisk should have developed a driver and software that would work by now for Windows 10? I know that you have to work with Condusiv Technology for part of your software but their products that I have on some of my machines work with no issues at all and didn’t get broken when I did my upgrade. Obviouly you having sorted out the Windows 10 driverst from my previous post about my experience of moving to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 8.1 update 1. Currently your product is not fit for purpose under Windows 10!!!
This thread saved me. I was wanting to update to Windows 10. Phew, I’ll stick to Windows 7 until things clear up (if ever) for Windows 10.
It is a shame too because the only problem I’ve run into with Windows 10 is ExpressCache not working. Besides that my upgrade was pain free…and I did an actual upgrade not a clean install as weird as that sounds.

I have one other issue with Windows 10 which I don’t like is the implementation that they have gone for on OneDrive. It’s made it almost useless current. Microsoft are looking into this and I think they might change it - can’t be certain though.
The ReadyCache issue is really down to SanDisk and nobody else. They didn’t test the upgrade and they didn’t test it working on Windows 10 as far as I can see. Come on SanDisk you have the resorces to fix this so why don’t you?!!?
The program provides a free 60 days trial. I figure that either Sandisk will come up with a solution by then, or I’ll just buy the program. Heck, I’ll buy the program anyway as a gratitude for the developer!
Today I upgraded my fathers PC from Windows 7-64 to 10, which had been speeded up by the readycache. Despite the upgradeprocess mentioning nothing about the readycache it is not working after the upgrade.
There is no way to (un)install it. I tried erasing files and the registry as directed in a post, but still the procedures complain about an existing newer setup or 1.3.2 not being able to continue.
It ended up with the message that I already had a newer version installed.
Then, when it decompresses it says it produces a file called expresscache.msi.
This file can be found somewhere around %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp{E1E38DF6-5231-4B7C-B798-0708709777BC}. In any case it must be a new directory in this Temp-directory.
If you then start this msi with
cd %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp{E1E38DF6-5231-4B7C-B798-0708709777BC}
msiexec /i expresscache.msi /Lv* output.txt
You can watch in the log in output.txt whatever remnant is obstructing the install. I succesfully forcefully removed the found GUID with a trial of Revo uninstaller pro 3.1.4.
Now let’s see whether this thing will let itself configure as I already tried the primocache trial on the 32 GB SSD, so it has to be manually reconfigured…

Interesting what you have found here but I need the 32 bit version of the driver. This one is 64 bit.
Maybe SanDisk might even get their act together and sort it out quickly. If they don’t they will loose a lot of customers for this product.
They basically don’t seem to care about customers though.
Luckily the Sandisk 1.3.2 version I already had running on Windows 7 is now progressing further in the install and asks me to restart…
Your very lucky as you are coming from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have the failed situation of going from Windows 8.1.1 to Windows 10 Pro and I can’t either un-install or re-install currently and SanDisk support seems to be usseless.
The uninstall error you are seeing is not related to Windows 10. Expresscache has two elements.
The Expresscache driver
The Expresscache GUI
Both of these elements show in the control panel. The driver shows as Expresscache and the GUI shows as Expresscache app. If you uninstall Expresscache (the driver) first then try to uninstall Expresscache App (the GUI) uninstalling Expresscache app will fail. This is because the GUI is trying to uninstall the driver and it is no longer there.
If you are runing into this issue you must manually uninstall the GUI. Going forward you will need to uninstall expresscache app and it will remove the driver as well.
That said Expresscache still is not compatible with Win 10 at this time. From what I understand they are working on it but I have not seen any additional info on any update or release for this software.
See the link below for manual uninstall instrucitons.
