Help Needed

I love SH3. I have 2 desktop PC's here, 1 runs Windows XP and is for gaming, the other's running Windows 10.
Problem is I would like to upload SH3 onto Windows!0, I'm starting to have problems with the old (XP) PC.
I've looked into running SH3 inW10, and it must be possible, I tried a clean install from the game cd, having previously deleted any references to SH3, (I had a version on steam).

Having installed the new clean download, setting 'run as administrator' and running compatibility with Windows XP service pack3, I thought I'd give it a whirl, no dice.
I keep getting a page pop up titled 'Protection System' and a big yellow 'ERROR'
message warning, followed by script that tells me it can only be ran via XP .

Has anyone encountered this ? If so, how do I get around it?

TIA,
Spurlash.
