Can I get the EA games collection to run on Windows 10?
So I had some games from the EA Games Collection installed on my PC (Need for Speed HP2, Simcity3K Unlimited, 007 Nightfire) but no matter what I can not get them to run on Windows 10. I know that compatibility mode isn't gonna work, and I can't find the patches for the games no matter where I look, and I am %99 sure that Microsoft isn't gonna update Windows 10. So, anything to help me would be appreciated. I don't even need a full answer, just some sort of advice on where to look would be helpful. P.S. I know that it is not impossible. I have been able to get LEGO Island working on Windows 10, so there is no way that NFS and Simcity3K are just impossible to run.
One thing I think could be causing problems isn't Windows 10, but probably the games themselves. I have barely seen this problem happen online before, and I remember running some EA games in Steam. Steam apparently sets compatibility flags for older games, and maybe those compatibility flags are what make the games impossible to run on Windows 10.

A lot of older games won't run on Win 10 due to the version of DirectX Win 10 runs.
If you have already tried running the game in compatibility mode, then these are some ideas:
1) you can go to the Steam help forum for the EA collection and see if those guys have a "fix".
2) run the compatibility troubleshooter from Microsoft https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15078/win...
3) run it on an x-86 emulator such as this https://www.dosbox.com/
4) some other misc links https://www.google.com/search?q=run+an+old+game+on...
