Hi Richard,

Here is the link for the 5.2 download link:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/5_2/index.jsp

But, I would suggest you to try to make the 5.3 or even the 5.3u1 (nightly 
release) work in your Window10. In
your Window 10, it is likely the problem of combination of Windows 10 os and 
older Hardware (even for a new machine), in this case,
the nightly release should be working ok. Please give it a try and let me know.
