I'm not so sure. I always had to use a VM to run legacy software in Windows 7.
Never had Windows 10. I switched to Linux when they ended support for 7.
Yeah, thinking about it more, it may not be seamless to run something that uses Direct3D from 2007 on a newer computer. You may need to install DirectX 7 or something. But the notion that someone who tries to run 2007 software on a 2019 PC "must have Down Syndrome" is pretty stupid.
And FWIW I do avoid Windows like the plague, but it's hard to do so professionally. Microsoft hooks the kiddies with PC gaming, and people just grow up assuming Windows is good, but my God what a piece of crap it is compared to Linux.
.NET and SQL Server both absolutely suck arse, too. I honestly don't know how they manage to sell a single copy of that so-called database.

Yep. I use 10 at work. But obviously that means I never had to install a game from a CD.
I have High Heat 04 and Civ 2, and Win 7 wouldn't even read the CD.
