I played AOE on Steam until I purchased a new laptop and could no longer get on Steam. I tried multiple way of accomplishing that and only managed to get more frustrated! So going to my local computer repair shop and buying a used laptop seemed the best choice, and I love it. No more hassles.
Age of Empires II is available on Steam, this version works fine
the old disk versions are deprecated
The only fix I have found when you own a Windows 10 computer is to buy a used computer with Windows 8 and use that computer only for playing Age of Empires it works perfect.
I suggest for old games, dual boot with XP and Windows 10
I've been fighting this issue for a while now, and basically all they can come up with is to play it in xbox app on windows 10. I just helped you skip through about 2 weeks of stuff that does nothing but waste time. I still cannot even get it to work through that app, so good luck and if you find the answer please share so I can actually play the game I also purchased....
