A lot of stuff is incompatible with Windows 7, it's particularly terrible for retro-gaming, you will have a hard time trying to play games that were released before 1998 (unless you use DOS box but that's just for the really old stuff). I'm afraid you will have to find an old computer.

No problem, and sorry about the bad news. I hate the fact that we can't play old games in Win 7.

I have a few older games (like one for win98) working on 7 32bit, but it depends on what the game needs and now they work.
