Step 1: Download QuickTime

If you are installing QuickTime on a different Windows 10 PC, other than the one you are reading this guide from, here is the download URL – https://support.apple.com/downloads/quicktime.
  • When the download page opens, scroll down to Download QuickTime *7.7.9 for Windows link. The download page will open.

When I tried to install this latest version of QuickTime for Windows 10 – 7.7.9, I received the error shown in the second image below.

  • My walk around to the above error is to download a previous version – I was able to install version 7.6 without any errors. I recommend you download this version instead.
  • On the download page, click the Download link.
  • If you are downloading with Google Chrome, Chrome will open a Save As page. Save the file to a folder on your PC.
  • However, if you are downloading with Mozilla Firefox, Firefox will display a Save File pop-up. Click the Save File button to start downloading the file. Firefox saves downloaded files in the Download folder.
The QuickTime for Windows 10 installation file version 7.6 is about 20MB – depending on the speed of your internet connection, it may take a while to download. Wait for the QuickTime installation file to download. Then, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Install QuickTime

  • Open the folder you saved the downloaded QuickTime installation file and double-click the file.
  • If you receive the SmartScreen can’t be reached at this moment warning, click Run.

  • When the installation is finished, click Finish.
  • If Apple tries to sell you QuickTime pro, on the bottom right of the screen, click No Thanks.
