The Sims 2 Windows 7-10 Fixes

I have been playing my Sims2 on my Windows 10 computer. After not having played for quite a few months, I now find that my computer will not read the disk at all. There is nothing wrong with the disk or the drive as I have tested other disks and my Sims 2 disk on my laptop. Installing the game was a long drawn out mission as I have all the EP's and stuff packs, so hope there is a solution other than re-installing, which may not even be possible if the disk does not read. Could a Windows update have changed something that causes this problem?
Any suggestions?

I've had this problem when I had sims 2 I'm actually going to re buy it but do you have it running on administrator and if so something else I had to do was run capability with Windows XP Vista this works for me I don't know if it will for you but hope this helps

You should both contact EA and ask for the Ultimate Collection. Sims 2 has issues for a lot of people on Windows 10, especially the disk version. Instructions for contacting them in the first post of this thread. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/814708/how-to-get-ts2-ultimate-collection-windows/p1

Yes a update could have stopped it from working, even if it was before. I wouldn't advise re-buying the disks, you will have the same issue.
