Spore works fine on Windows 10, after a few patches have been applied, up to version 1.05. However the disc version won't connect to spore servers regardless of the version. Personally, I installed Spore Galactic Adventures via ORIGIN, and use that to connect to Spore servers and play Spore. Galactic Adventures requires that Spore just be installed to run it. So I solved my issues by installing disc version of Spore, but Origin online version of Galactic Adventures. Besides an occasional crash, it runs fine on Windows 10. I just have to save often in case of crash.

I did try to install the online version of Spore via ORIGIN first, but it gave me directx errors every time, so I resorted to disc version.
