  2. Wanting to run old games

    Hi Jameson,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I would suggest you to refer the below link and check the compatibility of the game with Windows 10.

    Explore Windows 10 OS, Computers, Apps, & More | Microsoft

    You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
    Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.


          • Right-click on the game setup file and click on
            ‘properties’.

          • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
            ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
    If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer if it’s specific to that particular game.

    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

  3. E65 - Some games run poorly

    Hey on my e65 a lot of the 3d games run poorly, as in they lag and it makes them a pain to play.

    No games working win 10pro 64bit

    Hi,

    Your system configuration or the compatibility of the games that you are trying to play could be the reason why you are unable to launch them on your PC. To properly isolate your concern, please provide us the following information:

    • When did the issue start to happen?
    • Have you played your games using an old Windows version before?
    • Are you trying to play the Xbox Live games?
    • What is exactly happening when you tried to launch a game?
    • Are there any error messages when you tried to play your games?

    Most programs created for earlier versions of Windows will work on Windows 10. However, some older programs might run poorly or not at all. To resolve your concern, you may run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter by following
    the steps on this link to automatically detect and fix some of the most common
    issues.
