How do I get Elements 12 to work in Windows 10?

I just downloaded Microsoft's new WIndows 10. My Photoshop Elements 12 program will not work. I repeatedly receive a message that tells me I do not have DirectX/DirectPlay loaded into my computer. When I try an find DirectX/DirectPlay for Windows 10, it does not appear to be available anywhere. Does anyone have a work-around for this; or, do I need to delete Windows 10; and return to my old Windows 7?

I'm running in Windows 10 and have not seen any problems.  I did do a fresh install (numerous times for a different problem...Editor wouldn't load).  So far, so good.  I'm not sure that helps you solve your dilemma, but...

Thanks for the quick reply. I struggled with it for hours. The Editor loaded from the start. It was the Organizer for me that would never load. I finally got sick of fooling with it; and went back to Windows 7. Works perfectly once again. Hard to believe Microsoft woujld launch a new version this way. Wait until the serious gamer crowd realizes their gaming won't operate properly..
