It's weird that people are saying that EU1 isn't working on W10. 3 days ago I install W10 Enterprise 21H2 on my Sager gaming laptop.
My hardware:
i7-7700K
Nvidia GTX 1080
64GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
Surprisingly, the game launches just fine with no compatibility settings applied. Which is different from my previous results the last time I tested it. But the music doesn't work, which I expected. So I applied my own fix that I posted about some time ago:

I do believe that using dgVoodoo with EU1 is optional, but in my opinion it helps. DxWnd would probably also work. The main reason that alot of old games don't work on W10, is because of graphics issues. 3rd party programs like these help to mitigate that.

Here is a proper fix to get the GOG version of Europa Universalis working on Windows 10:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h7J7yE_EOJaSBD7JHXASfQMgrEf05F7w/
1) Run the GOG installer using default path of C:\GOG Games\Europa Universalis
2) Execute "Europa Universalis (GOG) - compatibility settings for native Win10 GOG install.reg" to set required application compatibility flags in Windows 10 registry
3) Execute "Europa Universalis fixed Music (ogg vorbis from CDDA) for GOG install.exe" self-extracting archive and leave default destination of "c:\", overwriting existing files. This replaces the winmm.dll with the ogg-winmm-1.3.0.0 version and replaces the ogg audio track with an improved rip taken from the CD version of the game and includes additional tracks that aren't actually played but their presence is needed for the music to work (all the tracks play from track02.ogg so that file includes all 5 tracks back-to-back).
That's all, folks. Enjoy!
