A friend of mine, who recently bought a Win 10 gaming rig, told me her Skyrim installed and plays without problems. Not that I need the extra "space" (the XPS came with two terabytes) but until I can replace these with Win 10 compatibles."shrugs".īy the way, Oblivion GOTY installs and plays on Win 10 without problems. Like you, I am looking at slaving my WinXP HD as an external.in the hopes some of my Windows applications can still be used/transferred to use through my Win 10 for now.

My FOMM is one of the early versions and why I need to update it to work properly. As I said, that was all that was needed for my game to run. I thought I had saved GWL disabler in one of the "Downloads" folders but didn't. Cell towers only began marching their way into my area a few years ago and WB is still more cost effective. It was installed when no other internet connection was available except Dialup (yes.I live in a very rural area). As I use a satellite connection for the Internet (Wildblue), this cuts down having to re download a huge file, like updates (or huge game mods) and up my FAP. Including several years worth of "Downloads" saved into separate folders for just such a contingency. I use mine for the same reasons (work and play at home) and why I never replaced my old WinXP.until it finally died (if it ain't broke.). I installed FOMM but still need to update the NET version for it to run properly. I never got around to putting up an icon. Click on "all apps" > "Games"> Fallout 3 and it should work. After installing the Games for Windows Live application and the disabler, it worked.

I still get a "this app may not work on your computer" notice but disregard that.Įssentially, after installing my disks, it kept telling me some file was missing and would not run. Fallout 3 was made for WinXP/Vista and had some problems getting it run on Win 10 though. So when it died, I bought a new Dell XPS 8900 with Win 10 and installed the game. I have the disk version of Fallout: GOTY which I played on my old Inspiron 530/WinXP for years. There is a YouTube, you can search for, telling you how to get the game to run on Win 10 too.

For me, it was making sure I had an updated patch (fortunately saved on a flash drive from my old computer in a previous "save") and redownloaded the "Games for Windows Live" and disabler. Here is one of the shared links that helped me

Apparently the Steam community has had similar problems and here is one person's solution that worked for me.
