Purr4me Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) I installed Fallout 3 GOTY from the discs on Windows 10 Pro updated to Anniversary edition with no problems other then having to uninstall SecuROM when it was done.https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/08/17/windows-10-safedisc-securom-drm/I can also obtain directly from Microsoft head quarts about the issue.This has been handled. CD games won’t play on Windows 10SafeDisc and SecuROM are copy protection programs used by game developers in order to prevent any unauthorized copying of their games. These tools were used heavily in the past decade, and now only older games tend to use SafeDisc and SecuROM. According to Microsoft, SafeDisc and SecuROM aren’t supported by Windows 10, therefore, many users won’t be able to run their favorite older games.According to Microsoft, both SafeDisc and SecuRom are deeply embedded in the operating system, therefore they are a potential security threat. In fact, in November 2007 there was a security vulnerability discovered in SafeDisc that allowed hackers to take complete control of your PC. In order to protect its users, Microsoft decided to completely remove any support for SafeDisc and SecuROM in Windows 10.Good for you 1 of the few. That lap top has an anchor and will not allow it to install. Edited September 2, 2016 by Purr4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blove Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Try it yourself. Windows 10 will not only install Fallout 3 GOTY from the discs, but will happily warn you after running FalloutLauncher.exe that "Fallout 3 isn't compatible with this version of Windows" while at the same time installing a fully functional SecuROM which will immediately pop-up "No disc inserted...".
