Will Kohan games run on Windows 10?

I alead got the Kohan Warchest of three games form somewhere besides steam. But I am thinking of buying it here just so I'll always be able to download them. But I haven't installed any of them on my new Windows 10 PC. So here's my question...

Will installing these games put a whole bunch of discontinued or old junk in my system? And will the games run on Windows 10?

Yes, Kohan 2 runs well on Windows 10 when run as an administrator. Kohan 1 runs well as well after installing a patch posted in the Kohan 1 discussion area. Enjoy!

Is that Kohan 1 discussion area a discussion on Steam?

I'm still wondering if the original Kohan games, Ahriman's Gift and its sibling, actually run under Windows 7. Some posts say yes, others are unclear. When Timegate's site was actually on the web, they had tons of info on how to get things working. But posts seem to vary here, seems it can work under W 7 for some.

There are some knowledgeable posters sometimes on here, I myself have non idea. If there was another sale, I'd purchase all Kohan games and give it a try.

I do have the first 2 Kohan games on CD, but I really don't feel like trying to get those up and running if it is a major hassle. Usually you need to do a few things to get the CD versions up, if they can be got up at all. Without a meaningful guide to that, it isn't worth the effort. I also don't think there is any Kohan game up on Gog.com so that makes getting info on the subject harder.

If anyone has good info or a link to such, would be very interested in knowing. I do know that the Kohan games were quite tough at most AI difficulties, the AI was no slouch, and it required a lot of flexibility of mind to stay with the AI. I always had to slow the gamespeed down also, or I could not keep up with its tactics. Looked ok for the time also. Great concept.

Too bad no one has the old Timegate Website ghosted somewhere.

Then again, maybe someone does. I'll check around during the winter break see if I can find more out. But it is hard to get up for such an older game when there are so many games I have in my library and so many decent ones on sale in the interim that will work on my OS or yours.
