I will look into it, once my son is in bed. I use to run the standard edition but then I received a new laptop, it says that my computer is 64 bit, once I get it depth it says it’s 32 bit. I’ll just google legacy edition mods. And if it doesn’t work, I’ll just use a different laptop. Thank you.
@princesssarah816 If you want to make sure you're stuck with the LE on this laptop, just post a dxdiag when you have time, and I'll take a look.

@princesssarah816 Your computer definitely cannot run the standard edition, unfortunately. In case you're curious, it's because while it runs 64-bit Windows, it has an ARM processor, and these models don't have the capability to run 64-bit games compiled for Intel and AMD processors. At least in Windows.
On a different note, your Windows build is years out of date and should be updated if at all possible. Given how many builds you'd be skipping, it's best to try a repair install rather than simply letting Windows itself handle the process. A repair install, here functioning as an in-place upgrade, doesn't erase any of your personal data, it simply gives you the cleanest Windows install you can get without wiping your drive and starting from scratch.

If you use the Windows ISO method, you don't need an outside install medium. The process is pretty simple and quite reliable, but if you happen to get to step 13 and do not see the option to keep your personal files and apps, back out and start over. And if there's anything you absolutely can't lose, it's a good idea to back it up before starting the process. This goes for any serious update, using any approach—while the chance of something bad happening is small, it's never zero.
Once you've installed the newest version of Windows 10, open Settings > Update & Security and click the button to check for updates. Windows may find quite a few smaller updates, perhaps enough that it would take a few tries to install all of them; restart when the process is done and check again to make sure nothing else is pending.
The errors in your dxdiag may well be cleared up after you've run all the above updates. But if you notice any issues afterwards, feel free to post a new dxdiag.
