Questing regarding Windows 7 vs. 10 game compatibility

[Getty]

I don't wish to start a flame war, merely asking a genuine question. I have non-steam games as well (Lords of the Realm from 1994, run on DOSbox. Might and Magic 6 from 1998 run normally, Oregon Trail 2 from 1996, runs normally with a little tweaking, to name a few). I know having the original OS, or an OS that is newer than the original, but still closer than brand new, could help in playability. Will I lose the ability to play any games if I make the switch from Windows 7 to 10? If not, I could download 10 on this system.. If I could, I could make a new machine. Thanks!

Not Valve's problem. Not our problem either.

The PC Elitists, Thank goodness for rich parents. Anyhow, i'm out. Thanks all.

Dude.

tell that to the people who cant afford it, maybe you can help them out by donating to them.

It's not my responsibility to support someone's hobby.

People that can't afford cars don't have them...wanna give someone a free car?

People who can't afford new cars don't have their current cars destroyed because of car manufacturers' demands that they upgrade

A full library that can be played 100% offline from a backed up hard drive is a pirate wet dream.

Hence why the only thing the legacy client would do is verify licenses.

Yeah right. Then what happen if you need an update? A reinstall? etc... What % of people would be satisfied with that idea. Not enough to care I'd risk guessing.

Well neither their PC or Steam account is going to be destroyed... so I mean bit dramatic. There's multiple free upgrade options if maintaining access is a priority.

But if you want to use a stupid car analogy, you probably can't drive a car for 14 years without spending money on maintenance and repairs either.

In like 6 or 7 years. Plenty of time to deal with that.

Yes and? That's my problem not Valve's.

I'm on Linux BTW. EndeavourOS.

The "boat" doesn't apply if you realize and know that upgrading comes with this hobby.

Show me where PC's or even Steam accounts are being destroyed.

I didn't start the car analogy. And yes, the "functionality" of their car is being destroyed.

Car can no longer server the function of driving.

PC can no longer serve the function of playing Steam games.

not your problem? so why you here again? just to argue with win 7 users?

Yes. Just to argue, discuss and overall share a bit of wisdom. But that last bit flies over your head so I guess I'll just drop it.

I guess your lack of hardware is my problem to deal with now. I will send you a 3000$ check next week.

wasnt talking about me, but thanks i guess for the check

But just like with cars you can upgrade your old PC with better parts.

Especially if it's an older PC, you can find old parts that were then top of the line and compatible with your hardware for absolute dumping prices now (and sometimes even for free) second handed.

I have no idea why you people complain about windows 10. It would be lightning fast on a computer like this.

XD

My own setup is ♥♥♥♥. But I mostly retrogame anyway so as long as I got an OS, im happy.

It's mostly fear. Lots of people just hate change in general
