SWBF2 (PC) wants to use DirectX9, I have DirectX12 on Win10

I bought Star Wars BattleFront II for the PC a few years back.  I have used it on Windows XP and Win 7 without any problem.  I finally bought a new laptop and installed Win 10 Pro on it.  The laptop is a gaming laptop with a desktop i7-7700 processor with 8 cores, 32 Gb RAM, GE Force GTX 1060 video card with 6 GB memory.  So, the machine is more than capable of handling SWBF2.

After installing the game (4 disks) on my laptop, every time I try launching the game, I get an error that the DirectX version has to be updated before I can play the game.  The version on the CD (DirectX9) is not compatible with Windows 10 and the installation errors out.  I already have DirectX12 on Windows 10 Pro (latest build).

How do I get around this issue?  I see others are using SWBF2 on Windows 10.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Tngodncr.
