Did you take into consideration that its not compatible with Windows 10.

I've thought about using compatibility modes but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm pretty much tech illiterate.

You can't ever completely disable windows 10 telemetry.
Microsoft is actively pushing towards making this ever harder to do as well - see the recent group policy change (which really insidiously simply ignores user settings altogether, without notifying the user in any way) for example, and they will surely keep breaking things in the future.
Even if you yourself are not concerned about the data collection, you still expose information about your friends and family via Microsoft's aggressive surveillance methods.
You should not use, support or endorse this operating system.

I don't use Windows 10 myself but if it's anything like every other version of Windows, right click the .exe of zoo tycoon, go through the tabs until you see where compatibility mode options are. I guess give Windows XP a try, after that its trial and error until you find one that works.

Fuck I should have mentioned. When you right click the .exe go to "properties" on the menu that comes up. Sorry for that crucial step missing.
