Windows 10: Why Win 10 Plays Old Games Well

I had a "Games" folder in XP that I transferred by flash drive to 7. Some of the games played poorly or not at all. I later transferred it to 8, and it was even worse. But when I upgraded to 10, most of the games started playing well,

When upgrading, 10 installs software that SOMETIMES helps these games run on 10.

And, go to Control Panel--Programs and Features--Turn Windows Features On or Off--Select "Legacy Components" and check it, as well as "Direct Play" underneath it. MAYBE it will help you play old games.

a win 10 DOS emulater

Why won't Microsoft, the evil empire, support older games for windows 10?? People paid big $$ for games that Win 10 won't play. Why?? Is it $$. How much $$ does Bill Gates really need? I think it's horrible Microsoft doesn't provide an emulater
that is easy to load and allows old DOS games to be played on Win 10. I mean Microsoft has all the supposed geniuses working for them?? Right?

 

Cant play old microsoft games any more.....

Hej Microsoft

Pleaseeeee.

Be aware, a lot of people play your old games.

WIN 7, 8 updates and now Win 10, nobody can play the games anymore.

Special AOX Age of XX al the games cant be played.

Look at the internet, thousend and thousends cant play the old games any more.

That dosent seems right, Microsoft should be be proud of, that some of there old games are so valuable.

So please make an update for win 10, og informe how to work around.

you are joking right ?
anyway what u wrote is opposite to my experience
there few games that playing just fine in win7... but not in win10
especially those with SafeDisc/SecuROM DRM as win10 no longer support it

 

I'm cold serious, Sly. Notice that I used the words "most," "SOMETIMES," and "Maybe." These are all XP games, by the way. Some of them won't play in 10, and some play poorly, whereas they wouldn't play at all in 7 or 8.

 

I have had little problem getting some old stuff to run in Win10, including RRT2, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Vietcong, Links 2003 . . .
-mostly using compatibility settings. Win10 runs emulator games fine too.
