Ipx Windows 7 Red Alert 2 Download
I just got the origin version running smoothly on Windows 10 64bit following this video: The DirectDraw wrapper used in the video does the trick for me.

For windows based games you can use something like Kali which will give you a fairly robust interface, or something like ipxemu or ipxwrapper which will.
