Hi Stephen, That depends on which version of Windows 7 you get. If you get the standard 32-bit edition all or most of your old 16-bit Dos games should run.
For example, right now I have Piledriver and Eamon Deluxe both running on my Compaq laptop running Windows 7 32 bit edition and those Dos based games run fine. I also have tried Scare and Dos Frotz on the same machine with no problems. However, older 16-bit games will not run on 64-bit versions of Windows 7 at all. I should know. I have a Toshiba here with a 64-bit version of Windows 7, soon to be Windows 8, and nothing written in the 80's and 90's will run on it. Cheers!
