SimCity 4 not installing in Windows 10

I have been trying to install SimCity 4 from original disk to PC with no luck. Apparently there is some security check on the disk that win 10 no longer reads which doesn't allow the install to finish.
The easy answer is to buy a new copy from steam or GoG or some other equivalent. Also Origin could provide a free copy after inputting the reg code into their database but I tried that and it did not accept the code.
If anyone has ran across a similar situation with a successful remedy that would be very helpful. Thanks!

EDIT: NVM My reading comprehension was bad on that one. You can't even get the install done.
Sorry - I haven't run into any Windows 10 problems except a video driver issue.

I didnt read your OP, but go checkout Cities: Skylines it's a better game.

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.

Well CODMW4 was having similar problem installing but I was able to copy from disk to desktop and then install from there. Hopefully I can do the same with SC4.

I love Skylines...but SC4 is a pretty damn good game.

I second this. Great game, especially if you have a good computer
