Community ManagerI think trying one of the Windows Compatibility modes will help:

If that does not work for you then please post the exact error you see, or post a screen shot. Thanks.
What would be the next step if the Windows 7 compatibility mode doesn't work on Windows 10?

There are several Windows compatibility modes, have you tried all of them?
- Make sure Windows 10 is fully up to date with all important and optional updates.
- Make sure your video drivers are also up to date.
Hi Barry,
I've tried to use each of the compatibility modes. I haven't had any luck. Windows is updated. The driver for my PNY GTX 1060 also is updated. I closed some resident applications with no luck. I haven't put time into doing a clean boot because I'm not sure that it would be fruitful. I chose instead to test another game and I'm happy to say that NFS Rivals works, so I was able to do at least a couple races with that game. I repaired NFS HP, and I also deleted and reacquired the files. NFS HP worked fine on this machine with Windows 7 Professional.

Windows 10 can skip secondary installs in the name of security. Please manually run the following installers and post your results here. Note: do not skip one of the dxsetup installs, they are not the same.
