Age of Mythology - Windows 10

I am using Win8.1, but after getting an automatic Windows update, my AOM and AOE III suddenly stopped working.  I called Microsoft and they referred me to the AOE website and told me to send an email and call the phone number listed there.  But I've found online that the website is not maintained anymore.  I did call and send the email, but never got a reply.   I told Microsoft that AOM/AOE is created by Microsoft Studios, so why can't they give me an answer?!  I also read the update I got was auto-downloaded on my computer even though I didn't ask for it (it's apparently linked to the pre-setup for Win 10 in case I want it (which I don't).  Now, I don't know exactly which download it was, so I don't want to randomly uninstall downloads on my computer that might affect other functions.  So basically, there's no help from Microsoft and now I can't play AOM/AOE on my computer anymore.  The only way is to go back to my old laptop with Windows Vista...I think that would still work.  

I don't know much about computers, and I read some instructions on how to possibly fix the problem.  But I don't understand it...and it requires changing computer settings and programs, so I don't want to fiddle with that in case something goes wrong and wrecks my computer...

Hi,

Well yes it is a bit risky to use a no cd crack, specially because its an old game and most links have expired. It seems that those that are still available could potentially have virus.

The other problem with the no cd crack is that most of them can't be used to play online. I remember there was a trick you could do by going to the registry and modify certain parameters to be able to play in ESO with the no cd loader. Unfortunately I don't know how it is done.

I have the old CDs, the vanilla and the TE. All this situation is tempting me to buy the Expanded Edition but I am doubtful as I am afraid that it won't run as well.

Has anyone tried it?

Have you the disk or downloaded version ?

No other option ? Yes there is one but not too legal and somewhat risky : download a no CD crack...

But have we really the choice ?

It does not working for me to open it in admin..

If I understand well there is any other option for the moment..?

Please Help I really want ton find back AOM!!!

Microsoft needs to resolve this issue.  If games and applications are available for sale--ESPECIALLY ones created BY Microsoft--then support should be present to resolve these issues.

I just bought the game with the expansion because I quite enjoyed it.  NOW, because I upgraded to Windows 10 I can no longer play it??

Come on, people.  Step up already!
