Yes SH1 1.31 & SHCE runs on Win 10, 8.1, & 7 - both 64 bit & 32 bit using DOSBox 0.74 plus all of Hawk's Utilities and Kim Ronhof's run too.

I use a zip file I made of my full install on a Win 3.11 or a Win ME computer years ago so I already have Hawk's Utilities set up and only need to configure DOSBox.

I've learned from others that Silent Hunter will install directly to Win 10, 8.1, & Win 7 - 64 bit & 32 bit computers which surprised me. I still use my zip.

Mine is installed (unzipped) to the C:\GAMES\SILENT folders I made.

You need to edit the *.ini files and copy the entire BUD folder over from the CD into the C:\GAMES\SILENT folder like this: C:\GAMES\SILENT\BUD

From subsowespac.org:

Make sure you use NOTEPAD or some other text editor.
This post may help if you're installing the patches (not necessary if you have SHCE the Commanders edition:

From this topic mentioned above:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=213102

My simple SHCE desktop DOSBox shortcut is configured like this (the " quotes are needed):
Target:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe" -userconf -c "mount c c:\games\silent" -c "c:"
Start in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74"

I have Win 7 - 64 bit. If using 32 bit, DOSBox would be in C:\Program Files, not C:\Program Files (x86).

Be sure DOSBox Options are set to: fullscreen=true in the dosbox-0.74.conf file (1024x768)
Hope this helps.
