Best Windows OS for classic and modern gaming
I used to have a Windows computer running XP before I switched to Mac. I love my Macbook and all, but I miss playing all my old Windows games. These games include Windows 95/98 games, Windows XP games, and DOS games. I've decided I want to get a Windows computer so I can play all those games. Before I start building my computer, I want to know what Windows OS to get.
Here are some of the games I have that I want to play:
Simcity Classic
Simcity 2000
Simcity 3000
Simcity 4
The Sims
The Sims 2
Sid Meier's Pirates (XP)
Half Life
Half Life 2
Rollercoaster Tycoon
and a lot more (including modern) games.
I want an OS that can play modern games in high resolution (I'll get a good graphics card/CPU) and that is compatible with old games. These all worked fine on my old XP, and I will get that again if I have to, but last time I tried XP it seemed a bit dated compared to Windows 7.
What operating system do you recommend I get that can play old and modern games? Thanks.
