Windows 10: Microsoft Age of Empires II: Gold Edition

Before I get too far, I want to say that what I'm asking is probably a bit of a stretch, so I would not be surprised if people said "no." I just thought I'd ask. Also, I've tried adjusting various "compatibility" settings ("Run this program in compatibility mode for:..., "Reduced color mode," and so on).

I have a 2-disc CD-ROM version of Microsoft Age of Empires II: Gold Edition (which includes the 2.0a-patched version of The Age of Kings, as well as The Conquerors Expansion; each game is on its own CD-ROM). While I was able to install The Age of Kings, I cannot get it to run. Coincidentally, the only version I’ve been able to find when I search online for possible solutions is the one I already have. Some results I’ve investigated suggest downloading the game via Steam (pending availability of the game). Due to the trouble I’m having with The Age of Kings, I have not yet tried to install The Conquerors Expansion. As a result, I do not know if that game will have problems. Does anybody know of any legitimate Microsoft Windows 10-compatible patches for Microsoft Age of Empires II Gold Edition?
