The Andonstar mini CD doesn't contain drivers, only the Windows application for controlling the camera, taking snapshots and recording video (look for the ".exe" files).
The USB microscope should not need new drivers - your system is obviously having problems if it can't use the generic USB camera driver (which is a Microsoft one supplied automatically with Windows 10).
Regarding Autoroute, it's a dead product as of 2014 - Microsoft announced end-of-life for it with Windows 7 in March of that year with actual EOL on December 31st, so you can't blame them for this - no software vendor supports its products for ever. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/autoroute/home.aspx - the program started in in 1988 for goodness sake - it was a leviathan, a dinosaur - all its data was on disk making it almost impossible to keep up to date. Every modern system is web-based with the ability (certainly in Google Map's case) to download local caches if you need to, i.e. where the web might not be accessible.
Autoroute has been substantially replaced by Bing Maps, which personally I find horrible. Google Maps is pretty good and I've never had a problem with them, even on mountain roads in Oman...
The world keeps on spinning, no-one's ill because of it. Windows 10 is a good product - if your PC is having issues, it's more likely to be your PC, not W10.
BTW. I'm not a Microsoft apologist - they do plenty of pretty stupid things, but deprecating very old operating systems or software is nothing unusual for any vendor.
