Received the same DirectX 8.1 error trying to play C&C Zero Hour using the Origin software on Win 10 x64.

None of the options.ini, resolution changes, .dll files deletion worked for me. Enabling GPU Scaling using my AMD video card software did the trick however.

Hopefully this helps someone out and gets them to playing the game faster 🙂
