re: SimCity 4 not installing in Windows 10

The reddit thread linked seems to suggest that it is DRM that is causing the problem and it's difficult to work around. That seems likely to require you to get a new copy (probably digital).

You could send an e-mail to EA see if they have a solution to the problem or can help (i.e will give you a download/copy that will work in Windows 10).

I did something similar and got a newer edition (went from 2011 to 2016 version) of the game I was trying to get working.

I would suggest contacting EA and seeing how helpful they are and if they can't help, just go ahead and purchase Cities:Skylines. It costs a little more but it's a much better game.
