I've finally bit and bought this. I only ever played C&C (the original) and Red Alert back in the day, save for a game or two on Tib Sun before my brother returned it to the shop. Perhaps I'll eventually get up to speed on what came later. Though I realise I should stop at some point, being that EA ruined the franchise.
During an intense nostalgia trip a year or two ago, I found OpenRA. It's free. It's open source. It's constantly developed. And it's great.
You can play Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Dune 2000 and Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, etc. will be along at some point. I consider it better than the originals as it's been re-balanced (to make more units and strats viable), as well as updated with things like parallel build queues, attack+move, etc. and anyone can have input into its future direction.
It's cross platform: whether on Windows, Mac, or any flavour of Linux, it will be a pain-free install. Also, it's FREE! Here is the link: http://www.openra.net/download
You can play by yourself, online with people from around the world, or over LAN.
Tiberian Dawn is where the real fight and best community is at.
Most of them work fine once you apply TFD 1.04 patch

Just some info on how to run and play online on modern operating systems -
CNC Net is a great resource for patching the older C&C games (up to Red Alert 2) plus Dune 2000 to work online. The first three games (C&C, Red Alert and Tiberian Sun) have all been released as freeware so the installers will give you the option of patching the Origin release or a CD version or can just download the whole game for you. You have the option of downloading the multiplayer component separately so there's no need to get the single player campaigns if you just want to play online. For Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge you'll need the games already installed (from Origin or CD) as they're not freeware.
The more recent games (Generals, C&C3, Red Alert 3) used to use GameSpy, which was shut down in May 2014. Fortunately the Revora Network stepped up to provide new multiplayer support using a launcher over at CNC Online.
Basically, every one of the games included here can be played with Windows 10. Some people will find that they just work after installing and some people will have issues - which I believe are mostly down to hardware conflicts, rather than Windows, so it all depends on your particular hardware specification rather than operating system - but there are patches out there that will solve everything for you. So it's not a case of does it work or not work, it's just a case of whether you need to patch or not - and considering you'll need the patches to play online you'll probably end up isntalling them anyway!
They keep saying there is but then it doesn't happen. C&C Generals 2 was announced, then it became a free-to-play game just called 'Command & Conquer' and then it got cancelled, so no idea what's happening now.

They made a huge mistake cancelling the Generals 2 Project. I was very much looking forward to it.

I've personally played the following on Windows 10:
Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer The Covert Operations
Command & Conquer Red Alert
Command & Conquer Red Alert Counterstrike
Command & Conquer Red Alert The Aftermath
Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun
Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun Firestorm
Command & Conquer Renegade
I couldn't get these to work on Windows 10, however if you Google it theirs apparently a patch to fix that.
Command & Conquer Red Alert 2
Command & Conquer Red Alert Yuri’s Revenge
Not tested by myself, however I never really enjoyed any of the games after Red Alert 2:
Command & Conquer Generals
Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour
Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
Command & Conquer 3 Kane’s Wrath
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Uprising
Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight
