    Hi habibhussain,

    I'm Charles, an Independent advisor trying to help.

    These are the recommendations to be executed to try to find the compatibility of applications, including games from previous versions to run on Windows 10, keep in mind as the article reports, some are perhaps no longer compatible.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15078/...

    I hope the steps work for you too

    Attentive to any comments

    Have a happy day

    Best Regards,

    Charles.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
