Hi, I need to rebuild an old development environment and need to redownload Visual Studio Professional 2010 so that I can recompile.
I have visited https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/ but the oldest available version is 2012. I really need to 2010. Can someone tell me where i can find a download site/ I have a product key.
Thank you, Tim Smith

The above answer works. Thank you!
***** For others using this approach. They key is that you must be signed in when you search for the product - otherwise the search results do not include 2010.
I have not been asked for my Product key, but I am assuming since it the VS 2010 is deprecated that I this requirement has been turned off. When I check Help>Register Product is says that a valid key has already been entered. So either it is not required or the download site got it from my previous download.
