Medieval II: total war gold edition laggy on windows 10

Hello, fellow total war members!

I am tyring to play medieval II: total war gold edition on my new pc because my older computer (windows xp) is broken.
The game installed just fine but when i try to launch it from the short cut icon it shows an Microsoft .NET Framework error message.
On the other hand the game does play when I launch it form the dvd station.

Sadly, the game is very laggy on the campaign map so now I wonder if this is caused by the NET Framework error?

System info:
Windows 10 Home
Geforce GTX 750 - DirectX 12
Intel Pentium G3250 processor
Microsoft .NET Framework is 1.1
4GB RAM

Apparently, net framework 3.5 (includes 2.0 en 3.0) is already installed on the pc. I saw this under the option to switch windows components on or off.
The game just adds the 1.1 version.
I suppose then that it won't make any difference to install the 2.0 version seperately?

net framework 3.5 was already on. The check box is filled.
When the game installs the 1.1 version does it also use that version instead of the 3.5?
Can't I just remove it and force the game to use net framework 3.5?
