MSTS doesn't appear to run on Windows 10 - I tried it the other week for the nostalgia and it didn't work. There were suggestions online of things to try that may resolve it - I tried a couple which didn't then gave up, for now at least

You might be better off trying the more recent and graphically improved Train Simulator 2017 - but make sure your computer can run it. If you're quick, you can buy it for a pound in a flash sale at https://www.humblebundle.com/tycoon-simulator-bundle and if you don't like it you've only spent a quid!

Somewhere in the control panel of Windows there is the option to turn back the OS to a previous version - its how I still get MS Golf to play on my windows 10 pc when it was built for Windows 98.

Doing that should allow you to play MSTS

I'm not sure it is that simple with MSTS - I changed the compatibility settings and it didn't really help. I think one of the issues with MSTS may be over graphics compatibility

OpenRails works on Windows 10 and can make use of all MSTS content. http://openrails.org/download/program/
