Does this work on Windows 10?

[-$ilver-]

I have the physical copy and it will either not recognize the disk or it simply will not download. Trying to revert to Windows XP, ME, etc. does nothing. So will this game actually play if bought through Steam?

My specs:

AMD Radeon(TM) R6

Minimum attributes of your Video Card

Pixel Shader version 5.1

vertex shader version 5.1

AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G

CPU Speed
1.8 GHz

RAM
8.0 GB

Microsoft Windows 10 (build 14393), 64-bit

Free Disk Space

360.8 GB

AMD High Definition Audio Device

Any known problems with Windows 10? Will the game play decently, fairly or chug along slowly or not at all on my system? Also does it require me to allow access as an Administrator to my system or I can by pass that by hitting the “x” or “no” option? Some games will still run, while others will not. Also can I play on the highest resolution (not as important as just getting it to play well in what ever capacity.)?

Thank you.

Physical optical disc non-standard DRM\codec drivers were no longer included beginning in Windows 8.

If you can read the disc fine in apps using more basic standard I/O such as explorer.exe then you can create a standalone installation

That said Maxis did an unusually great job, especially on SimCity 3000 Unlimited, "following the rules of the road" by Microsoft and others thus it runs perfectly on everything from XP Mode to 64-bitness Windows 11

Usual caveats apply though since Steam can be too invasive and introduce instability which isn't otherwise there, so the original GOG release, from which the Steam release is derived, might be preferable

Regardless recommend using these;
Simcity 3000 Unlimited - widescreen support - GOG SUPPORT CENTER[files.gog.com]
4GB Patch - NTCore[ntcore.com]

Only sticking point would be if your display is of a non-standard aspect ratio, or your native resolution is indivisible by four but in either case can adapt by using a shortcut configured as follows, for example;

-r1920x1080 -w

Works for me in both Windows 10 and 11.

As stated above, you are experience driver issues. After all, fewer and fewer people use CDs, or any type of disk media, these days. Vast majority of new PCs these days are sold without disk drives, after all.
