Gday
I have some old PC games that I kept of when I was younger. Games i REALLY loved, but realistically-speaking, I will most likely never play again.

(These are all pre-steam games)

Is it worth grabbing an ISO of the disc and keeping it just in case? Will an Win XP game play on Win11 (or newer) one day?

or is it a bin-and-forget?

Thank you

    It’s a mess; you have to approach every title individually. I keep all my old games but the reality is that without people posting guides on reddit, i would stand very little chance making most of them work on my own.

    i would see if those games are on gog.com, if they are i would consider buying them if i were you, alot of old games need tweaks to get them to run (or run properly) on newer systems.

    ISO them. You can always run them in an XP Virtual Machine etc.

    I have Star Craft happily running in a VM on my Win10 machine here.
