Hi martechamc:
Stanley here. Can you tell me what kind of problems you've encountered installing the RWFF game on a Windows 10 Laptop? I will be glad to help you if I can. Sure would like to see your dad doing some flyfishing on a laptop again. RWFF is a great little flyfishing simulator.
Currently I have a copy of RWFF installed on my Windows 10 laptop and it works OK. I can't do any fish creation and outing creation on it but the game plays just fine.
Regards,
Stanley (Yellowstone7)
