I recently purchased a BCD325P2 scanner as well as a new laptop that runs on Windows 10. I want to use Freescan, but cannot find it anywhere. I see many articles on how to use it, but can anyone direct me to where I can actually download it on my computer? Been searching for hours. Thank you

According to the wiki the BCD325P2 is supported. There is also a link in the wiki to a Freescan update that supports DMR.
The 325P2 can be programmed via FreeSCAN. That's what I originally used, before the DMR & NXDN upgrades came out. Since FreeSCAN does not correctly support DMR, and does not support NXDN at all, I moved my 325P2 programming to ProScan.Try this:

I think I may have found it, but when I try to open it, my computer says that I need to switch out of "S" mode, and then there are all kinds of warnings about doing that. Any thoughts? I am truly at the dummy level here
From your latest response, it appears that Proscan might be a better choice. Any info about where I can locate and download it?

The "updated" version you are referring to will allow you to program a conventional DMR channel, but conventional import does not work (at least, I was never ever to use it, getting a strange error message every time I tried).FreeScan User Guide - The RadioReference Wiki

Trunking import does not work correctly, as FreeSCAN tries to import a DMR trunk as a Moto UHf system. Also, while you can correct the system type to DMR, and enter the site LCNs once converted, you cannot enter the color codes for site frequencies.

FreeSCAN To install FreeSCAN, download and install the .MSI file. For differences between versions and important operating information, see the release notes. This version supports the the SC230, BC246T, BR330T, BCD396T, UBC3500XLT, BCT15, BCD996T, BC346XT(C), BCD396XT, BCT15X, and BCD996XT

click on the fssetup-218 line.
Your PC is running Windows 10 S. As such, it will only allow you to install programs (apps) that are in the Microsoft app store. FreeSCAN is not in that group.
However, you can switch your PS out of 'S' mode, which will allow you to install FreeSCAN and other programs not listed on the Microsoft app store.
See this:

How do I turn off S mode in windows 10? Microsoft support says the following but I don't show part 2 on my screen? On your PC running Windows 10 in S mode, open Settings > Update & Security >

ProScan
You can download & use it for a thirty day free trial, before having to either purchase a license, or quit accessing it. The license cost is $50, but includes lifetime updates, as new features are added, or errors are corrected. Besides programming, ProScan also allows virtual control when the scanner is connected to your PC, as well as logging and recording options. The ProScan author, Bob, is very active here on the forums, and responds quite often when someone posts an issue or question.
I think that regardless of whether you install FreeSCAN, ProScan,, or ARCXT, you'll still need to get your PC out of Windows S mode.
Thanks again. I took it out of S mode and it seems to be working. Let the games begin. Thanks again

Take note that switching out of S Mode is a one-way process. Once you’ve switched out, there’s no going back. So, make sure that you want to disable S Mode for good before you proceed.
so, welcome to the new world.
yes i see i was too late.
