However, in Windows 10, all traces of SafeDisc support have simply been remove. On Windows versions before Windows 10, this withdrawal of support was done through a patch (KB3086255), and there were ways to uninstall that patch. I should point out that I've only played solo play games up until now. Sadly, this is due to the DRM system of the game, SafeDisc, no longer being supported by Windows. I am able to play the game fine on Windows 7 thanks to information I've read about changing the 'options.ini' file and manually starting/stopping driver secdrv.sys used by Macrovision's SafeDisc copy protection scheme.
The game is patched to version 1.08 which I believe is the latest (and last) patch for Generals. I have the original (UK) C&C Generals disks, manual and serial number. I have read conflicting information on various sites about whether Command and Conquer Generals will run on Windows 10. I am currently running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and am considering upgrading to Windows 10 within the next month.
