Hi I am looking a download link for visual studio express 2010. The only version I could find is the newest 2015 version, is there any way of getting the 2010 version?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

No, it used to be here:

http://visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx

Microsoft says that to download older versions of Visual Studio you need a Visual Studio Dev Essentials (free):

https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/

But I have checked that only the old VS 2013 version is provided.

So you need a MSDN Subscription (not free). I have verified that "Visual Studio 2010 Express (x86) - DVD (English)" is provided.

Hi hohnlin2000,

Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.

Currently, the VS 2010 is not available on Microsoft official website.

But if you are an MSDN download subscriber, you could download from:
