I’m preparing to purchase my dad’s Total War collection since he enjoys those titles. He uses both a desktop PC and a laptop, so if he logs into your account and starts playing, like in Rome or Black Ops 3 Multiplayer, I should be able to play on my desktop as well. Regarding compatibility, Rome Total War and the older games should work on Windows 10.
Consider trying it yourself or setting up a game account for your dad so he can play too. I’d really appreciate it if my parents enjoyed gaming as well.
Join the Steam family sharing, invite your dad to create a Steam account, and encourage him to purchase the Total War Collection through that account.
Refer to his personal profile and enable family sharing, even though not every game offers this feature—it's worth testing.
The simplest option is for him to use his personal account, where the game is bought there. Ensure his laptop can handle the Total War Collection.
I handle things alike with my brother. He has his own profile and we share it with the family, remember that certain games (like CSGO) aren't fully shared, but most are. For you, both of us can log in together—though not perfectly. If he disconnects from the internet while playing Rome, your Steam account lets you play BOP3 easily. Any DRM-protected game should work too (like Ubisoft titles where Steam just launches a launcher).
