My game is from 2000, Drac.

The only NoCD I know of is for Pandora's Box is for the original game, not the "Game of the Year" version which was released slightly more than a year later and included extra puzzles.
Did that NoCD you have ever work with your "Game of the Year" version?

I don't think I tried it, Jenny100, since my other laptops had built in optical drives. My Windows 10 Asus doesn't, so I have an external optical drive.

It's lucky you don't need a NoCD for it then.
I don't know if a CD image of the game mounted in a virtual CD drive works with Pandora's Box. It's always good to have one of those USB CD/DVD drives if you don't have a built-in CD/DVD drive in your computer.

You're so right, Jenny 100, especially since so many laptops don't come with optical drives installed. When I put this laptop on order, I ordered an external optical drive at the same time. I'll use it to install games I have and keep it attached if I need to have the CD in the drive. It works just fine. It's actually cheaper in many instances to do it this way. It seems built in drives add more to the cost of the laptop then an external drive costs. This laptop also didn't come with a webcam, which I have on my Windows 7 laptop. I suppose if I ever need one, I can get an external one as well.

I just loaded up and started The Book of Unwritten Tales in my Windows 10 laptop. I have to have the DVD in the drive for it to launch, but it plays beautifully!

Oh, that's such a great game! Have you played it before?

No, I haven't , Drac. I played just a few minutes after it launched to get the feel of it and I'm already in love with it! The voice acting and dialogue are great!

Oh, wait until you get to the humor incorporating adventure games! This makes me want to play it again.

Just to update on a few more games that I've successfully been able to install and play on my Windows 10 laptop...

Murder in the Abbey
Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis
CSI 5 Deadly Intent and CSI 6 Fatal Conspiracy
Everlight
Darkfall Lost Souls

Good info. Thank you!

Are those all disc versions?

Yes they are, Jenny100. All need the discs in the drives except for the CSI games. Also there was no widescreen support for my laptop for any of the other games as well. CSI's played in widescreen.

Also, Windows 10 determined the compatibility without the troubleshooter as I recall, except for Dark Fall Lost Souls. I needed to tweak that one because the mouse didn't function well. I used the troubleshooter and the issue was resolved.

More games installed and playing on Windows 10 from disc:

15 Days
Baron Wittard (needed to disable antivirus to get the dxs studio player to install.)
Ceville (seems to play best in XP compatibility)

Thanks for that info JKEerie! Good to know!

From my experience, as long as older disk games do not have any of the DRM that Microsoft has deemed unacceptable, they all install and play on Windows 10 pretty consistantly.
