TS3 runs fine on Win 10 for most of us. Your hardware set is just strong enough to carry the entire game, meaning all EPs and all the store content you may want, although possibly not entirely on the highest of graphics settings in game options. Player experiences will differ there, but a GTX 1050 should be able to manage most of it.
You will most certainly need to cap the frame rates (fps) and check to make sure that they are staying at or below the refresh rate of your monitor as unlike newer games, TS3 has no functional built-in fps limiter and your graphics card is strong enough to be throwing too high frame rates if left untended to and that is bad for both game performance and the lifespan of the computer. But we can help with that as needed if/when you get the game installed again. :)
