Microsoft: Win10 games that kill soft and embedded systems will be banned

  
From the official release of Win10 on July 29 to the present, the compatibility of this new system is not bad, most of the software and games of the Win7/Win8.1 era can run normally. However, Boris Schneider-Johne, a marketing manager at Microsoft's Windows division, said in an interview with a German television station (Rocket Beans TV) that not all old software will be compatible with Win10.

The manager said: "All programs can be run in Windows7 should also be able to run in Windows10 but only two exceptions: anti-virus software and something deeply embedded systems In addition, the use of DRM technology, CD-ROM The version of the game is also a deep embedded system, so this type of game can not continue to play in Win10, because this may become a vulnerability exploited by the virus.
Specifically, between 2003 and 2008 Games using SecuROM will be affected. That is, if these games don't use 'CD-free patches' or similar measures, they won't play in Win10. We can't risk making these things a security risk for users. But now there are a lot of Patches are available for developers to choose from, such as GOG, which you will find in the affected game versions."
In addition, SafeDisc DRM is also difficult to run in Win10. Boris Schneider-Johne added: "SafeDisc DRM has been out of support for several years, and the related drivers have not been updated for a long time. Microsoft should have migrated existing software in the Win8 era. We don't know if Win10 is still available now. Running such games, or... doesn't matter." (via: Windows Central)

SecuROM is a CD/DVD-protected product developed by Sony DADC. Often used to protect computer games running under Microsoft Windows. SecuROM is designed to block attempts at home recorders, CD duplicators and reverse engineering. The latest version (version 4 or higher) has made some progress in preventing 1:1 CD-R copying. But some programs can still bypass protection. Using SecuROM is controversial because the protector behaves like malware in some ways, and SecuROM is automatically installed on your computer without the user's knowledge. EA has been sued for this issue. (via: Wikipedia)
