Windows 10: Windows 10, Adobe Flash Player or Facebook Gameroom?

I'll try to be as clear as possible. My Lenovo 330171DK came with Windows 10 pre-installed. I*'m using Microsoft Edge. When I go in to Facebook Gameroom the games say I need the most recent update or version of Flash Player and directs me to an Adobe page. I have followed those instructions numerous times: Go to settings/advanced settings to make sure that Use Flash Player is on. It is. When I click on Test Flash Player: Flash Player is currently disabled. I've contacted Adobe, Gameroom feedback and you at least twice. No replies. I've gone to forums/communities, going to various websites recommended in the forums. I just want to know how I can enable Flash Player. I don't need to go to the page that tells me to go to advanced settings, etc. Just tell me how to do it. I don't want a long, convoluted explanation that many developers are steering away from Flash Player and going to so and so. I hope a live person answers this.

Facebook Gameroom

I tried what you suggested. Here is the situation as it stands now: On File Explorer I had a couple of FacebookGameroom.exe files and I right clicked one of them, selected TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY and ran it using the settings for Windows 8 (no, Win 10
wasn't on the list of OSs). Up popped a windows showing it was installing. When that was finished I brought up the start menu and there was the program. The big problem was that, on clicking, it did not open. I then right clicked the entry, selected RUN
AS ADMINISTRATOR, nothing doing either. On a hunch, I opened CONTROL PANEL, selected PROGRAMS & FEATURES and surprise, Facebook Gameroom wasn't on the list!! ???: Why would Facebook Gameroom have shown up on the START MENU but be missing on the program list,
when it was there before all this started happening? What other options are there?
