You can try using DX9 on Windows 10, though performance may be limited. It should work for your older games, but expect lower frame rates—around 6fps at 1080p on your GTX 1070 with the specified specs. It won’t conflict with newer titles like DX11, and a 1070 can run DX9 under those conditions.
Launching Steam automatically installs DX 9 without causing any issues.
I mention that because others claim it won't function, but from what I know, DX9 runs smoothly on Windows 10 without any issues.
