Good evening
I have a Canon 600D camera with a 100mm f2.8 macro lens, problem is I am trying to link it up with my laptop which is running windows 11 so I can take pictures of 2 mm diamonds so I can increase the size to see the clarity as the LED screen on the back of the camera is to small, I have been on the Canon website to download the software but there isnt Windows 11, I have looked at various other ways but can only think I need to buy a laptop that has an older windows version that is compatible with the older software, or is there another way to link the camera and laptop? Any help would be really appreciated
 
Hi Gav
Thanks very much for your reply, I have downloaded this but when clicking on remote shooting or other items it states a compatible version of EOS utility is not installed unless im doing something wrong?

This shows W11 and should help you.

I think the OP might be referring to the Canon EOS Utility that allows for tethering and that indeed is not available for W11. Though I wonder of he could install the W10 version in 'compatibility mode'?

Alternattively, simply transfer using a reader and though more cumbersome it is one solution.

Ooops! a bit late to the thread.....@Garyreg check out what I say above?

PS a different Canon body but this is what I am talking about

I found your post when looking for a solution to the same problem. This is my first post on the forum, so I can't post any links, but this worked for me. If you search for "How to install Canon EOS Utility 2 full version github", this comes up first on google. To get the right EOS Utility I selected 600d camera and windows 10 64bit to get the 2.14.20a version on the Canon website.

How to install Canon EOS Utility 2 full version​

EOS Utility 2.14.20a full version install​

Go to Canon and select your camera model under software downloads.
Select your camera and download "EOS Utility 2.14.20a Updater for Windows" (yes, we will do full install with this file).

Before we can run the installer we need to add a key to our registry.

Open a commandprompt as admin and run this to create the right key for a full install.

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Canon\EOS Utility"

Now you can run "EOS Utility 2.14.20a Updater for Windows" to make a full installation.
