Purchased sims 3 digital download but can't download origin to play it!!!!!

★ Novice

I am so annoyed..... I bought the sims 3 starter bundle and when i go to download origin it won't download..........which means now i cannot download my sims 3 game AT ALL.   My computer has just recently been upgraded to windows 10.....might this be the problem?  Can anyone help me with this issue.  I have also tried turning off my avg already to download origin but still not working.  Is there a way to make it compatible so i can actually download the frigging origin or do i have to ask for my money back???!!!!

@jc8437ch How does the Origin download fail? Do you get any error message?


Does using this link work? http://www.dm.origin.com/download

 

If you haven't already, please check Control Panel > Programs and Features then check for an existing copy of Origin on the machine. Remove it if there is one present, then try the fresh install. 

Thanks.
