How to set PDF files to automatically open in Acrobat Pro X

Greetings,

I am using a PC with Windows X.  I have Adobe Acrobat Pro X and would like all PDF files to automatically open in Acrobat Pro X.  I have followed the steps to choose where to have the PDF files open, but Acrobat Pro X is not one of the available choices.  I believe there is somewhere I need to go in my computer to tick a box to add that as an available choice, but I don't know where that might be. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jen

First of all, Acrobat X is not compatible with Windows 10, so problems with it are to be expected.

What steps did you take so far, exactly?

I now understand Acrobat Pro X is not compatible with Windows 10 and thus the cause of my problems, so I purchased Acrobat Pro 2017.  I will need to uninstall Pro X before installing Pro 2017, correct?  If so, what is the best procedure to uninstall the program?

Thanks!

Deactivate it from the Help menu first and then do a normal uninstallation.

Are you referring to the Help menu in Pro X?  If so, I can't access it as the program will not open at all.  Is there another way to deactivate it?

Thanks!

No, that's the only way. If you're not planning on installing Acrobat X elsewhere then it's not a big deal, though.
