    Will not run on widows 10, you can download Voolby to your windows 10 and play it,  I use Stream thou, you purchase AOE II HD from them for $25 and you will be able to play online again and also play solo, it works great, the graphics are terrific, and they have some knew campaign that are really fun. Hope this is helpful, I spent hours with Microsoft trying to get AOE II to work on Windows 10, and finally they admitted it would not work on 10.

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

    what about us who used to own a windows 7 pc but now own a windows 10 pc that they cant rollback to windows 7 because it never was windows 7 in the first place?

    am i stuck with basically a 20-40$ paperweight that isnt even heavy enough to be a paperweight?

    Yes, but you have to go back to 8.1 within the 30 day window, otherwise, you will have to restore you system back to how it came out of the box, and reinstall all your software.

    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!!!
