I remember having to install Need for Speed Carbon on a dual-boot of Windows 7 in order to play it on Windows 10 iirc because 10 made a change that broke a certain DRM and I couldn't install from disc. I assume it's similar for Most Wanted?
The last time I tried to use a disk to install a nfs game was on a windows 8 laptop and it didn't want to launch unless I did compatibility for XP and it didn't end up installing the game anyways.
I mean it's basically impossible to play the game otherwise because EA refuses to sell the black box need for speed games, and the only other way to legally obtain them is to buy a 20 year old dvd which didn't sell very well to begin with. Even if I did that, I wouldn't be able to install it because I haven't had a PC or laptop with a disk drive in almost 8 years.
Since EA doesn't want my money, I won't feel bad about not giving it to them. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Hot Pursuit 2, Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted, Carbon, are all abandonware. Too much copyrighted music and car licences for EA to even consider touching it so feel free to pirate the games.
