Windows 10: Can I run old Starcraft, oblivion, and a few others games mostly steam on a windows 11

I have a windows 10 pc but it is starting to fall apart literally and might get a new one soon but I want to make sure I won’t corrupt any files or anything

:)

 

are all steam games available on windows 11

okay so I am two steps away from upgrading to Windows 11 and I just want to make sure that all steam games run on windows 11. so is it a good idea to play steam games in windows 11 or should I wait for a few more weeks/months?

 

New Windows 11, many steam games will not display.

I have a new Windows 11 pc, I have Uninstalled steam, the games, reinstalled everything. I have tried using a different hard drive as well. I've read about so n e may update that turned off .net features and I followed what that article said and turned .net back on. Nothing will let most of the games play, the only game that will play is no man's sky. Don't even suggest verifying steam, or restarting the pc ior steam,,I'm well past that sort of suggestion.

 

Wanting to run old games

Hi Jameson,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I would suggest you to refer the below link and check the compatibility of the game with Windows 10.

You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• • • • 
        Right-click on the game setup file and click on
        ‘properties’.
        
      • 
        Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
        ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
        

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer if it’s specific to that particular game.

Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
