I haven't used it a lot (as I generally use RealBand), but it should work on Windows 10. Make sure that you run it as administrator and do NOT install it into the "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program files" folder. And if there are still problems, I might would even try running it in a Windows XP or Windows 7 compatibility mode.
I would also probably change the location of the TEMP folder to something other than the Windows default, which ensures it runs outside of Windows folder control. On my computer, PTPA is installed to "C:\Apps\PGMusic\PTPA", temp is assigned to "E:\Audio\Temp\PGMusic\PTPA" and my song data is wherever I save it to (e.g. "D:\MyData\Tunes".
Make sure all your MIDI and audio connections are enabled and connected before you launch it. I would probably also install the LoopBE MIDI port driver to give you something other than the MIDI Mapper or GS Wavetable to choose from (expecially using DXi or VSTi synths).
What exactly didn't work when you tried it before?

PT 2017 installed and works on all of my Win 10(s) Pro - 64 bit (as well as all my Win 7 64 Pro)
FTY: mine is installed on a non-boot drive, same goes for BIAB and RB and everything "music" including all plugins (of any kind VST/VSTI or DX/DXi)
But just follow John's advice and any place on C will (should work - but as mentioned do not install in the C:\Program Files (x86) or C:\Program Files)
Good Luck

Lots of sound advice above. However, my PT 2017 just installed on Windows 10 and worked first time.
As long as you are familiar with driver set up etc on previous versions of PT you'll have no problem.
Mind you, I was a little bit lost as icons have moved but its still a very user friendly program

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
