Depending upon the system you purchased, your i1 is designed to run of these two programs:
— i1 Match 3.6.2 (PC), 3.6.3(MAC)
— ProfileMaker 5 (i1 Pro Bundle only) for profiling
And these utilities Programs:
— i1 Share 1.4, an unsupported freeware program for color evaluation
— i1 Diagnostics 2.5.1, for checking the instruments
DOWNLOADING THE INSTALLER(S)
The latest versions of these programs are available for free download from www.xrite.com. Before installing your i1 system, we recommend you download the latest version of the program, which may be more recent than the one on your application CD.
INSTALLING SOFTWARE
Before installing the program, make sure your i1 instrument is *not* connected to the computer. The installer will automatically place the necessary i1 instrument driver on your system. This driver is necessary for the computer to connect to the i1. After installing the software, you should be able to plug your instrument into a USB port and have it be recognized by the computer.
The installer is downloaded in compressed format and will automatically decompress if your system has a decompression utility. If not you may download Aladdin’s free StuffIt Expander utility (Mac & Windows) from www.allume.com to decompress the installer.
Once decompressed, double-click the installer to install the programs you want to use.
SOFTWARE DONGLES
To run i1 Match, you must have your i1 instrument connected to the computer. Systems that use i1 Match are licensed through an internal copy-protection «dongle» inside the instrument. If there are i1 Match modules not licensed on your system, they can be purchased separately. Optional modules are installed via an alphanumeric license key using i1 Diagnostic.
If you have an i1 Pro Bundle, this system is licensed to run ProfileMaker 5 through an external USB dongle. These systems are not licensed to run i1 Match, but can run i1 Share and i1 Diagnostic.
i1 Display can only use the Monitor module of i1 Match. The Display instrument is only for profiling monitors; it cannot read reflective readings and therefore cannot be used to profile printers.
CONNECTING TO THE INSTRUMENT
If your Windows software application cannot connect to the i1 instrument after installation look at the realated article below.

I have a new computer on the way and was wondering if my Eye one display 2 will work with windows 10?

Probably yes, better with Argyll+dispCAL.

Probably its is time to upgrade your calibrator as well. Most likely you will (if not already) opt for new display with larger than sRGB gamut. i1 Display 2 is not that good for newer, wide gamut displays. Here new calibrator (Display Pro) is better choice anyway.

Re: Will my eye one display 2 work with windows 10?
Yes it will. I have it and it works.
I can’t quite remember, but I think I had to download some driver (for an older version of Windows) or something in addition to the software itself

Yes, I just installed Windows 10 Anniversary Update and my i1 Display 2 works, but it does not support dual displays. However, there IS a work-around for dual displays. Also, I do not let i1 Match manage loading the ICC profiles at Windows start-up (I am extra cautious about making Windows upset, as Windows 10 seems to have a lot of underlying rules and operations that I don’t fully grasp—I stopped trying to keep up after WIndows XP).
I am sure this is not the only way to do this, but it worked perfectly for me. This method allows Windows to manage loading the ICC profile, but uses the superior i1 Match calibrated profile. It seems like a lot of steps to do, but it was relatively easy and did not take a long time.
- Install the «GMB_USB_v240» driver for the i1 Display 2.
- Install the «i1Match_3.6.2_Win7» Software (I used the Windows 7 compatibility setting).
- Restart the computer.
- Verify that the i1 Match software works (look under the GretagMacBeth folder in the Start/App menu) and that the i1 Display 2 works.
- Open i1 Match on the monitor you want to calibrate first. Complete the calibration as you normally would. Note the name of the profile when you save it as an ICC Profile file. Repeat on each monitor you have.
- In Windows Explorer, go to «C:WindowsSystem32spooldriverscolor» assuming Windows is on your «C:» drive.
- Create a temporary folder in this folder—I called my mine «Temp Profiles».
- Copy your saved ICC Profiles from i1 Match into this folder (copying instead of moving prevents having to re-calibrate if you make a mistake).
- Next, type or say «calibrate display color» in Cortana and click on «Calibrate display color» (or you can find it in Windows’ Settings).
- Complete a monitor calibration for each monitor you have (you can just quickly click through the prompts, but wait a minute or two between each monitor). Write down which one you do first, second, etc. These calibrations are saved in «C:WindowsSystem32spooldriverscolor» as a file named «CalibratedDisplayProfile-#» with «-#» being an actual number assigned by Windows to each monitor—mine were «-2» and «-3». You need to know when you did each monitor so you recognize which file belongs to each monitor.
- In Windows Explorer, return to «C:WindowsSystem32spooldriverscolor».
- Go to your temporary folder and rename the i1 Match ICC profiles to «CalibratedDisplayProfile-#» matching each profile to the «CalibratedDisplayProfile-#» that you completed for each monitor.
- Copy the renamed ICC Profile files from your temporary folder into «C:WindowsSystem32spooldriverscolor». Make sure you click «Yes» to replacing the existing files.
- Restart Windows. When logging in, you will likely notice the instant when Windows loads the calibrated profile during the start up process (especially if you have cheap monitors like I do).
- Enjoy your calibrated displays.
You’re welcome,

Thanks for the workflow, but it is easier and also better results by using Argyll+dispCAL.

Would somebody explain what exactly is wrong with the i1 Display 2 with a wide-gamut display (would the Dell U3011 and the 4K panel of Dell XPS 15 9550 qualify?) and what side-effects to expect / look for?

They are old and its organic filters degenerate with time, one
example here https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/58197989
They are old technology never made for LED or wide gamut panels

The side-effects are bigger Delta E.

Re: Will my eye one display 2 work with windows 10?
Replying to Beveled45’s post in April:
I have had no luck in getting my eye one display 2 to be installed under Windows 10. My installation is the same as yours, but I don’t have the Anniversary Update installed yet. My system is Win 10 64 Professional.
When I plugged in my eye one display calibrator, I got this message from Windows, under Settings > Devices > Connected Devices, saying Driver is unavailable.
Clicking on this message, Windows told me to Remove This Device.
See additional comments below.

I was unable to install anything using the drivers contained in this ZIP file. Which file should I select. Can I force the installation manually?
- Install the «i1Match_3.6.2_Win7» Software (I used the Windows 7 compatibility setting).
I can’t find a download location for this software. (And I have searched a LOT!) X-rite seems to have taken this software down from their website very recently, because I found a posting from this past February linking to this software.
Can someone post a copy of this software to a DROPBOX or similar online location? Or else send me a private message about some other way.

The a7R V is the fifth iteration of Sony’s high-end, high-res full-frame mirrorless camera. The new 60MP Mark IV, gains advanced AF, focus stacking and a new rear screen arrangement. We think it excels at stills.
After weeks with a production Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Chris and Jordan get into more detail than they could in their initial review.
Topaz Labs’ flagship app uses AI algorithms to make some complex image corrections really, really easy. But is there enough here to justify its rather steep price?
Ultra-wide to short telephoto?! The Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G has a very useful focal range, so we took it to the mountains to see how it performs.
After weeks with a production Sony a7R V, Chris and Jordan present their final conclusions.
