Best war title I think I ever played though is "Battlefield: Bad Company 2"... great offline Single Player campaign; superb graphics and gameplay:

I make frequent restore points.

PS: Battlefield Bad Company 2 (BBC2) has a reputation for being very smooth and forgiving on even low-spec computers... as does Crysis 2, although the latter requires internet activation each time you play, so I have this on the laptop only

Now when we are discussing games and Win10 and XP.

How do I know if I have WIN10 pro or not ?

If I have then I will try to install my old Destroyer command and SHIII or SHII

^ @Mapuc those sims should run on a home Win 10 OS alright.
I am sure with SH3 ..

edit: you can see which OS you have when doing a right-click on "My Computer" or "This computer", and then select (click) "properties", on the window popping up at the top under "Windows edition".

Thank you.

I have some minutes ago discovered that I have WIN10 pro.

I made a search for my type of computer and there it said OS WIN10 pro.

I would be really happy, if I could run SHIII again, which I just couldn't on my former WIN10 home edition, which was installed on my laptop.
