running GTA SA and SAMP on Win10 - Dasm0 - 25.01.2019

Hey guys,
I just bought a new laptop running windows 10 and I wanted to buy GTA SA (from Rockstar website because that version is compatible with SAMP apparently?) and install SAMP to play online and I was wondering if GTA SA runs on windows 10? if not what do I have to do in order to make it run?
I am asking because I heard that SA does not run or not properly on windows 10 and I want to know what I can do to make it work on Windows 10.

Many thanks

If I'm honest, I use Windows 10, and I've had too many problems with the GTA: SA and the GTA: SAMP I also bought a new computer a few months ago, and today I have not been able to solve them, too many problems have arisen, I solve one , then another one appears, and so on, I have not been able to play for several weeks because I have not been able to solve one of those problems.

It works perfectly fine for me, unless i've added modifications to the game.

Did you install DirectPlay first?

The only way I can really play GTA SA on W10 is by forcing:
windowed mode
borderless windowed mode.

I found a solution:

1) Run GTA San Andreas in compatibility mode: Windows98 / Me and as administrator.
2) If your GTA: SAMP has the compatibility mode activated, remove it and run it as administrator.

I've bought a Windows 10 laptop few months ago, installed GTA:SA then SAMP, it everything works fine. I have not encountered any single problems yet.

I remember one day i had an issue with GTA:SA & SA:MP with Windows 10 i followed this steps:
Step1: Right Click on the Windows Logo and click "Run"
Step2: Type appwiz.cpl in "Run" dialog box and press Enter
Step3: Click Programs and Features from the top leftmost corner
Step4: Search for Legacy Components and click the small plus sign (+)
Step5: Tick the box next to DirectPlay and pres Ok and wait until changes are applied
Step6: Restart, DirectPlay is now installed
and it worked fine.

Windows 7 will cease to be effective by early 2020.
