Your new Windows is probably missing some software needed to launch the game.
Make sure you have installed all drivers (GPU, etc.), DirectX and VC++ 2013 Redist package.

If that doesn't help, follow the instructions on this page:

Thanks.
But I didn't see anything on that page that can help.
The launcher does not even start.
Where could I find a list of all the required drivers?

I didn't see anything on that page that can help.

So did you make sure you have installed DirectX 11 and VC++ 2013 Redist packages, and verified the game data via Steam?

Where could I find a list of all the required drivers?

You just need the normal drivers needed for running a game. The GPU and Audio drivers are probably all you need.

Thanks again. Here are my results.

  1. Installed DirectX11

  1. Already had VC++ 2013 Redist packages aparrently

  1. Verifying game data;

All files validated

I'll check to see if I can update the drivers. Do Bohemia still support this game?
