  1. Classic games not compatible with Windows 10?


    Where can I find a list of games that don't work with Windows 10? I've spent hours trying to get a popular old game to work, researched all the answers, did it all, and still nothing works. The compatibility troubleshooter wont even test the programs when hit "test program" after I TELL it to run in the correct version of windows. So how can I find out all the old games that I cant play now? I really don't want to go through this with EVERY SINGLE ONE of my games. VERY disappointed that you haven't made some kind of update to fix this issue with all of the upset customers I've found regarding this issue.

    :)
