Hello,

Yes, the scanner works with Windows 10 (at least on the two versions that I have personally tested with (64bit versions of 1809 and 1903 (there was an error in the blog article which originally said 1703)), with the caveat that the hardware buttons on the scanner do not seem to work. Over the last two months I've scanned just a touch under 2000 items using Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 2. Any application that uses the WIA method (which I believe is most applications these days) should work absolutely fine, I'm not so sure about older applications that only support TWAIN.

I've only used the scanner for scanning images of things, I haven't tested with OCR as I haven't had a need.

I don't run insider builds so I haven't tested 1909 yet, but I'll update this post when it is generally available and I've updated one of my devices to use it.

Hope this helps!

Regards;
Richard Moss

bonjour /hello I've read your post -and it makes me more optimistic -because I have for scans this "CanoScan LiDE 100" and of course it works very well on my old pc /WIN7. But I've a more update PC -in order to use WIN10 if necessary: I've bougth, 2 y ago, a laptop /WIN10 -64bits (exactly this one: HP 14-ac104nf); and I want to instal the scanner LIDE100 on, so I go to the site of Canon: and what a bad surprise!: no driver exits for WIN10 ! -they say...

perhaps you could tell me the best driver for my laptop? and where I could get it? what site?

Richard, thank you in advance for any information about that problem best regards

Bonjour Valerie!

Thanks for the question. In my case the answer is simple - I didn't manually install a driver. I just plugged the scanner in and Windows itself took care of installing an appropriate driver via Windows update. So my suggestion would be to plug the scanner into your laptop via USB and give it a few minutes for the driver to automatically install, at which point you should be good to go.

Alternatively, you could download the 64bit Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista driver package from Canon https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/scanners/lide_series/canoscan_lide_100.html?type=drivers&language=en&os=windows%208.1%20(64-bit) and install that directly but given that Windows correctly installed a driver on two different computer systems I've tested I suspect it would automatically work you too in your laptop.
