    Question Any advice for running Windows 7 with no Microsoft support ?

    Okay I'll look into that, thank again for the advice, I really appreciate it. I'll give it a shot anyway and see how it goes. Maybe @lvt was right, maybe I am just better off just building another PC lol

    Question Suggestions for realistic single player FPS games?

    I don't mind games that don't hold your hand though I do admit sometimes those types of games do frustrate me, but then I just turn it off and go play something else that's mindless and easy then come back to it later :) I was interested in Bannerloard but the reviews where not great from what...

    Question Any advice for running Windows 7 with no Microsoft support ?

    Well that really sucks, I'll give it a try anyway just to see how the games run. If there are "convoluted ways" around it, I'll have to look into that and see if it's worth my time to mess around with. I appreciate everyone's advice so far, I am learning now, thanks to you all.

    Question Suggestions for realistic single player FPS games?

    I actually have Kingdom Come Deliverance on my Steam wishlist and I do love games that take place in the middle ages. I do own and love games like Medieval Dynasty and Mount and Blade, Warband, just a couple examples. I will have to pick up Kingdom Come Deliverance for sure. I kind of forgot...

    Question Where can I download games?

    From what I've read, the sites I mentioned say that the games they have are donated by the developers to the abandonware sites.

    Question Any advice for running Windows 7 with no Microsoft support ?

    You mean I can't install Windows 7 drivers for my graphics card in a VM? I honestly didn't know that. I thought I could just install Windows 7 version of all the drivers I need. Yes there are games that run fine on Windows 7 but not Windows 10 and games that run better and have less issues...

    Question Any advice for running Windows 7 with no Microsoft support ?

    That's a really good point. I forgot a VM is completely cut off from the main system. I don't plan to download from suspicious sources. These are games I own through platforms like Steam, GOG and Epic. Also some games are from legit abandonware sites. Even though running a VM would keep my...

    Question Any advice for running Windows 7 with no Microsoft support ?

    I use Windows 10 but I want to create a Windows 7 virtual machine using Hyper V Manager for running older games that are not Win10 compatible or don't work well on Win10, I have a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate I want to use. I've never run an OS that for which support has been discontinued so I...

    Question Where can I download games?

    The days of buying game on disk at a brick and mortar store are gone, it's the digital age now ;) There's also Ubisoft's Connect, Microsoft's Game Pass and EA has their own platforms but they are not as good as the platforms John mentioned. Steam is the most widely used game store platform in...

    Question Where can I download games?

    Here's a couple places where you can find old "abandonware" games for free. Many are for PC but there's also many old console games too (you need to learn to install and use an emulator though to play them on PC). https://oldgamesdownload.com/ https://www.myabandonware.com/ I found many...

    Question Suggestions for realistic single player FPS games?

    I've always sucked at finding easter eggs in games, it's pretty rare for me to find any in any game. One of the coolest easter eggs I ever did find in a game though was in the game Anno 1800 when I accidentally pressed Ctrl + Shift + R and suddenly the camera zoomed all the way down from the...

    Question Suggestions for realistic single player FPS games?

    I never tried any of the Tom Clancy games though I have heard good things about them. I've thought about trying Tom Clancy games before, I just never pulled the trigger (pun intended). I'll check it out, thanks for your suggestion.

    Question Suggestions for realistic single player FPS games?

    Hi, I'm looking for any suggestions for good, realistic, single player FPS games. I prefer war FPS games, especially WWI & WWII, but I'm open to modern war games and even non-realistic FPS games like Doom or Quake too. Right now I own these FPS games: Easy Red 2 Battlefield games The original...
