    The Sims CD game will not run on windows 11. My CD is the original from 2000 no...


    I have seen other versions of The Sims running on windows 10 or 11 but they are not the original disk I have, instead they are bundle expansion packs that came out months or years after the original release. I Have a nice laptop with windows 11 so I figured I would buy external disc player and the original The Sims game. Everything downloaded and installed without a hitch but getting the game past the Play option was a battle I lost. Frustrated to my limit, Sick to my stomach I wonder why huge companies like Microsoft and EA dont care about customers they have had for decades. people suck

    Can I run older cd games on windows 10?

    I was feeling nostalgic so I found some old games I used to play as a child on CD and was wondering if they'd still run on such a new computer. I'm currently running windows 10 and the games list the following as what platforms they run on according to their
    Amazon sellers:

    The first game: Windows 7 / Vista / XP / Me / 2000

    The second game: Windows 95 / 98 / Me / 2000

    The third game: Windows XP

    Would I still be able to run these games without having to download something like an emulator? I'm kind of scared to download those things since I heard a lot about viruses. Is there a way to make them run without one?
