    Yeah, pretty much. MS deliberately obsolesced their own product to force you to buy an inferior 'online' version.

    You have to be kidding with your recommendations, being a Microsoft Engineer. 

    I tried all of your suggestions before I wised up and with a lot of difficulty finally got to talk with a Microsoft Employee in Microsoft's gaming area, who told me that The Age of Empires II is not supported by Microsoft in Windows 10.

    Why do you at Microsoft keep avoiding this issue.  Oh, I know, you are trying to jam Windows 10 down peoples throat!!!

    If the problem is with the Disk launch sequence, how about a patch that would allow us to copy our Disk to Hard Drive, patch & run from there.

    Age of Mythology has the same problem, and I do not want different versions, regardless of cost.

    I'm a dumb blonde when it comes to this stuff. I just know how to install and play.

    I'm having the same exact  issue with trying to play my age of empires and red alert series.

    How do I revert back to my Windows 7?

    I did the free Windows 10 upgrade.
