And now for the bad news. I am a huge Rome Total War (of the 2004 fame, not Rome II) fan especially TWRome together with the Roma Surrectum mod.
As of Windows 10 the disc based games do not work anymore. The Digital Rights Management system those CDs were locked with is apparently considered a security threat, so it's not going to change either as far as I am aware.
The only way to continue to play them is to purchase them again from Steam. I did just that for my Rome games, bought the base game and Alexander variant to go with it.
I have not yet gotten back to Medieval, but I suspect it is the same story.
It is what it is. I guess that's the price of progress or whatever. There are package deals, and at times they are on sale, so just buy them again at your convenience to continue enjoying them for the next 15 years I guess.
