So whether you know it or not my ol' Faithful, Samsung RV510, finally turned off for the last time back in March.

I had that piece o' crap for years and I really got to like Windows 7. Now that I can't buy a new laptop with Windows 7 on it, my question is this.

Has there been any issue getting SH2,3,4, and Dangerous Waters running on Windows 10? I didn't go picking through the game forums yet. I've been out of the loop for a while so I just figured I'd put out a big blanket post covering them all.

I will also hopefully be getting a laptop capable of running SH5 so I can finally put my copy to good use.

Thanks guys.

Dangerous Waters seems to work on Windows 10 with the DLL fix found on its forum. I haven't tried any of the Silent Hunter games yet but I don't think I've encountered any games that run fine on Windows 7 but don't on 10. I think the thing most likely to cause issues is the old copy protection on those games if you have copies that include it, but even then there should be workarounds.

Windows 10 runs both SHIII and IV for me with no hitches...
