    I'm running into the same issue of getting back into the game, after years of many amazing memories.

    It simply will not work with Windows 10 using my CD.  My next trial will be to create a 2nd OS partition on my system with dual boot with Windows 7 or a prior OS.  So, if I want to play old time games such as AOE2, I can with no problems.

    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.
