        I can't help you with all, but I think you have multiple options :

        • you can install standalone MAME on windows 10
        • you can install retroarch on windows 10 and install the libretro-cores with them
        • I have heard of tutorials running RetroPie on windows
        • you could run a linux os seperately on and usb stick and then install RetroPie

        Most simple option is to install MAME, I think.
        Look here :

        And here :

          i have a question regarding the retoarch option ?

          i have retroarch , but when asked if they have a core , everyone told me (in discord) there is no core ... do you know how i can download it on retroarch ?

          or do you have anyone you may suggest that to help me with the mame portion ... im just really confused and have no idea when reading upon the mame ?

            As far as I know you can download them from within the menu.

            And otherwise you can download them and put them in the correct directory.

                          I am downloading the stable now.
                          I will check if it has cores in them.

                          You should also check you core-directory in the menu !

                              In above link you find them directly.
                              I can't find a mess core.

                              My advise, try mame standalone.

                                  Standalone mame isn't part of retroparch.
                                  You can run it without.

                                  You can run mame from your console
                                  then you have to run, I think :
                                  mame cdimono1 -cdrm game.chd

                                  there should be a bios directory somewhere.
                                  You have to place the cdimono1.zip in there.

                                  or run mame with a click
                                  You get into a menu.

                                  Much is explained on https://docs.mamedev.org/
                                  Look at the documentation.

                                          It is better to help you this way, so you learn.

                                          I know it can be confusing, but once you know how it is structured, you know.
