I'd like to know if purchasing C&C Ultimate Collection from Origin will work on Windows 10. I have physical disks and they do not, due to WIndows 10 not supporting the type of copy protection used. I've heard from several posts that if you buy the C&C Ultimate Collection as a download, the copy protection scheme is either different or removed - and will work. Can anyone please confirm that before I repurchase these games?
Thanks
I'd also love to know the answer to this. I have an older DVD version of the collection, the First Decade, but also many problems with Windows 10 and the like. While I have done the work arounds and can make it work, it's an annoying hassle and if the digital download will solve that, or let me avoid most that hassle, then I would happily pay for the Ultimate Edition.
The CD protection is obviously not an issue since these all run from hard disk, but besides that, well, the C&C series contains a bunch of games from very different eras, and each of those have their own problems on modern OSes. Most of those have been solved by fan efforts, though, either through fan-created patches, or just knowledge on what settings to fiddle with.
I advise you to look in these threads; I go over pretty much all the games there:

The unofficial patches for C&C1 and RA1 are strongly advised, though, since they fix a number of bugs in the games that could cause crashes.
