I deleted the entire original post since nothing I said in it applies anymore.
Here's a new Win 10 fix I found that works perfectly on JA2 1.13 (both unstable and 7609 based executables). It uses CnCDDraw. Runs at full speed, doesn't crash on alt tab, capable of stretching the game from lower resolutions to higher resolutions and even adding shaders for scaling and other effects if that's what you're into. I modified the config a tiny bit and it should just work if you extract it straight to you game folder.
REMEMBER TO SET THE GAME TO RUN IN FULLSCREEN IN JA2.INI AND DON'T RUN WITH OTHER FIXES AS THEY MAY CONFLICT

I'm almost certain you can just copy paste the entire folder to your new PC and it'll work just the same. I think everything works by relative paths and saves are kept in the user profile folders inside the game's root folder so the game is completely portable. I keep the game in an external drive and can run it no matter what drive letter it is on any Windows PC (or on Linux with Wine).
The only thing that might break is the uninstaller if you installed it with GOG and the registry entries the installer made won't be present. That's no big deal considering you can just delete the folder to uninstall the game.

Sorry for the late reply. If speeding up the AI has the opposite effect, try using the alternate INI file from the first post which runs much faster than the one I included in the main pack. It has some disadvantages as I stated in the first post also but it should help with speeding up the game in general and holding up the speed up key. It's the one I use since the one that allows you to run in borderless windowed seems to greatly slow down the game for me. The alternate INI file makes the game run maybe 2x faster for me so when transitions happen (like when entering a sector with enemies) it doesn't take extremely long.
Please do not use any other fixes in conjunction as they have a strong chance of conflicting with the fixes in the pack I included. Also the reg files are absolutely not needed since the DXWrapper takes care of all of those stuff for you without messing with your registry. I actually tried combining DXWnd (it even comes with its own copy of DXWnd) but it's really jank and I can't get it to play nicely.
