there are many other games bro if ya need any more info just message me.

IM JUST HAPPY TO HELP PEOPLE.

I have made a research a long time for this.

Modern Computers / laptops are evolved enough that any windows 7 operating system would be the same.

However, i personally tried all windows 7 series (basic, ultimate ; professional) each pf them scoring differently in program called Fraps.

So for example ,battlefield 3 windows professional scored arouns 45 fps in ultra
Ultimate scored around 42 fps
home scored 35 fps

I felt a big difference here from 45 fps to 35 fps!!
Thata big!!! I tried 2 games so not just battlefield 3

I also tried world of warcraft ... Yeah you never heard of it or might

But it scored similarly to battlefield 3

Ultra : 60fps
Ultimate: 57 fps
Home : 54 fps

I realized that professional is the best for gaming

Hey boy if you have windows 7 then you can play many games but wait,🤔😅 It depends on your computer system for example if you have AMD Ryzen 5 Graphics card Apu (inbuilt graphic card in processor)/ Nvidia gtx 1660/1650/2060 or higher and ram 8/16 Gb then you are ready to go.you can play AAA games(Heavy requirement games) or if you have something like intel i3/i5 then also it will work but if you have old pc with intel duo core 1.6 GHz or something like that(old and weak processor of any brand) graphic card inbuilt (cause intel latest processor graphics are as weak as the old one) ram 2 or 4 Gb then you are going to get problems I am not telling that you can't play a single game you can play old games. I am giving you a list on which system you can play which game. (according to your need (7))

1. Old games.with less requirement

1 Grand Theft Auto 3 (GTA)

2 Grand Theft Auto Vice City (GTA)

3 Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (GTA)

4 Grand Theft Auto 4 (In some case you a a average computer system) (GTA)

5 Spider man 2

6 red dead redemption 1 (rdr1)

7 need for speed most wanted

2. High end games with good or high end pc system

1 Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA)

2 Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2)

3 Doom Eternal

4 need for speed paybay

5 metro exodus

6 The Witcher 3

7 Far Cry 5

Hope you like my answer and remember if you are on any computer is windows vista,Xp,7,8,8.1 or 10 it will not matter on your gaming performance.

Short Answer: No, you can't. Nope. There's totally no way.

Long Answer:

No. To understand​ the reason you first have to understand what the terms 32bit and 64bit actually mean.

Computers use their Random Access Memory (RAM) to temporarily store the information they are working on. The CPU, the main component (or the brain) of the computer needs a way to refer to some parts of the memory in order to access them. The way it does it is by using a number, a pointer that points on that specific place on the memory. The length of this number determines how much memory the computer can have. For example, if it was one digit long we would be able to use 10 memory locations (or 10 bytes) from 0 to 9. If now we increase the length of out pointer by one we will have pointers from 0 to 99, or 100 bytes. Of course, computers use the binary number system and because of that the size of the memory is always a power of 2.

Older computers used smaller address sizes. For example the Intel 8008

But the i7 is a 64bit CPU, how can it have a 37 bit address bus?

The size of the address bus is a different than the “bit count” of the CPU. The first one is how many bits are used to represent the memory location, therefore the maximum number of memory locations and the later is how many bits long is each register inside the CPU.

The problem here is that games need a lot of memory to run. Many titles today have a minimum requirement of 8 GBs, heck, some even ask for 16! Since 32bit systems (which usually have the same address bus width) only support up to 4 GBs of RAM they can't really support these games.

But that's not the worst problem. Remember what I said about register sizes? A 32bit CPU can handle up to 32 bits in each clock circle while an 64 bit CPU can do 64. No matter how much memory a program requires, if it is designed to use 64 bit registers, it won't be able to run on a 32 bit processor. The opposite does not apply though since it can just use less than the register size it has. Also, 64 bit processors have a 64bit instructions set which allows for more functionality that 32 bit processors don't have.

So, unfortunately no, you can't play 64 bit games on a 32 bit system :/

EDIT: That said, if the computer has a 64 bit processor but a 32 bit version of Windows 7, it is still possible to emulate 64 bit instructions inside a Virtual Machine. QEMU and VMWare can do such emulations but running another Operating System inside a VM to play a game isn't the… optimal solution. In such a case it would much more preferable to install a 64 bit version of Windows.

Footnotes

Hello :-)

I am sorry but you can’t run any 64-bit game or application on 32-bit system or Operating system. This is because the processes and architecture that 32-bit uses is quite different from what 64-bit processes or uses. Whenever you will try to open a 64 bit game or application it would not open on a 32-bit system. 64-bit can run both 32 bit and 64 bit software programs. This is because 64 bit has higher data processing capacity (data width) capacity than 32 bit. So it can handle lower width processes (32-bit) as well but it is not possible for 32-bit to use higher data width(64-bit) processing capability.

You can check whether your PC supports 64 bit or not. If it supports 64 bit, you can upgrade your Operating System to 64-bit. You can upgrade your Windows only if your processor supports 64 bit architecture. Otherwise, try to use 32-bit games and other software applications.

I hope it will make the things clearer :-)

Is Windows 7 good for gaming or is another version better?

What exactly are your expectations here? What does “good for gaming” mean? Let me frame this up for a second.

Let’s say you want to play Counterstrike. Let’s say you have five identical computers. Let’s say you install XP on one, Vista on another Win 7 on a third, Win 8 on the 4th, and Win 10 on the fifth. You want to know which one of those computers would provide the best performance for playing Counterstrike?

They would all perform the same. The differences would be negligible, if noticeable at all. Sure, Vista is a bit of a resource hog when you are looking at the desktop, but we are talking full screen gaming here, not playing in a Window.

From the stand point of asking which the best OS would be for playing the newest games… that’s ALWAYS going to be the newest OS available. Windows 7 was the best OS for gaming, when there wasn’t anything newer. Now, Windows 10 is better. Why? Well, you can still play the same games as you could with Windows 7… you can use DX9, DX11… and now DX12. You can’t use DX12 with Windows 7. So in the future… games that use DX12 will look better and play better on Win10, compared to Win7.

So the answer to your question is…. it depends on the game, but by and large the newest OS is the best for gaming, since it enables the widest range… as it opens up access to the newest games and visual effects.

And no. Stealing a copy of Win7 Pro or Win7 Ultimate won’t make your games play better. In point of fact, those versions of Windows are more restrictive than Win 7 Home Premium.

Playing games depends on lot of factors on your pc. First of all i would recommend you to switch to Windows 10 x64 if your motherboard has support for win 10. If you are into gaming, then you should mention your complete PC specs for people to tell whether you can play AAA Titles or any of the popular games. You can always check what game can you play from http://gamedebate.com , where if you search for “Can i run GTA V” , the very first result you will get is from game debate , where you can choose your entire PC Specs and you can know whether your system is compatible or not.

<<..HAPPYY GAMING..>>

You’d be really unlucky if a 32bit game didn’t just install and run like any other program. If you purchase old games via platforms like Good Old Games, they’ve usually modified the installer and other installed components to work around or eliminate any issues that might potentially arise. And their service is cheap too. I’ve accessed a lot of older games I really enjoyed back in the day on my 64 bit modern PC. Yes I had to buy the games again, but I now have them in a perpetual digital format with no DRM (Digital Rights Management) meaning I can transfer and use the games to any current or future PC I own when and if I like as often as I like. All for cents in the dollar. For example I recently bought licenses from GOG for three old Star Wars games that cost me less than $10 for all three games (they were on sale, but hey… cents in the dollar compared to the original prices I paid 18 years ago.) Even Steam sometimes has older games for cheap, like my copy of Unreal Tournament 2003 Black Edition. Even though Gamespy that used to host the online servers for the game are long gone. The game is still very playable on my 64bit system with its good modern graphics card. It’s a frag fest and still a complete blast. And much, much smoother and more playable to boot.

First understand the difference. 32-bit means the app can use maximum of 3.7gb of RAM. 64-bit means RAM utilization can go up to 32gb. So when we talk about running a 32-bit app in 64-bit environment it is possible. But when we talk about running 64-bit apps on 32-bit it is not possible. If we somehow manage to emulate the 64-bit environment on 32-bit system using VMWare or quemu. The performance will not be the same.

And watch dogs require minimum 4gigs of RAM. Which means a 64-bit system setup. So if you have that setup and you are running 32-bit window 7 install 64-bit Windows 7. Otherwise buy a new gaming rig(or assemble it yourself) or a gaming console! :p

Windows 7, while still functional, does not support all games, particularly newer ones released after the end of its official support in January 2020. Here's a detailed breakdown of compatibility and support issues:

Compatibility with Older Games

High Compatibility: Windows 7 supports a wide range of older games, especially those released during its active years (2009-2020). Many older DirectX 9, 10, and 11 games run smoothly on Windows 7 without significant issues.

Emulation and Compatibility Modes: For games older than Windows 7, such as those designed for Windows XP or earlier, compatibility mode or third-party emulators can help in running these titles.

Compatibility with Newer Games

DirectX 12: Many new games require DirectX 12, which is only natively supported on Windows 10 and later versions. Games requiring DirectX 12 features won't run on Windows 7.

Driver Support: Graphics card manufacturers like NVIDIA and AMD have stopped providing updated drivers optimized for Windows 7. This can lead to compatibility issues with newer games that require the latest drivers.

Game Launchers: Some game launchers and platforms, such as the latest versions of Steam or Epic Games Store, have limited support for Windows 7, potentially affecting the ability to download and run new games.

Performance and Security

Performance Issues: While many older games may run well, newer games might not perform optimally due to the lack of newer drivers and system optimizations found in Windows 10 or 11.

Security Concerns: Running Windows 7 poses security risks since it no longer receives security updates from Microsoft. This can make online gaming and downloading new games risky.

Specific Game Examples

Older Titles: Games like "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" (2011), "Grand Theft Auto V" (2013), and "Dark Souls III" (2016) generally run well on Windows 7.

Newer Titles: Games like "Cyberpunk 2077" (2020) and "Forza Horizon 5" (2021) may have issues or not run at all on Windows 7 due to the need for DirectX 12 and newer system requirements.

Community and Developer Support

Official Support: Game developers are increasingly focusing on optimizing their games for Windows 10 and later versions. Support for Windows 7 is declining.

Community Patches: For some games, community patches or unofficial workarounds may exist to help them run on Windows 7, but these are not guaranteed and may not always be stable.

Conclusion

While Windows 7 can support many older and some mid-range games, it is increasingly less compatible with newer titles and lacks the benefits of modern gaming enhancements found in newer versions of Windows. For a comprehensive gaming experience, especially for new releases, upgrading to Windows 10 or later is recommended.

It pretty much comes down to the DirectX API for which Windows OS is best for exclusively gaming (that and what the latest graphics drivers for your card support), and that mantle will be for Windows 10 because DirectX12 will be exclusive to Windows 10 for the time being (until another Windows OS comes out). However, the API version only matters as far as how many games utilize it too, so since Windows 7 is compatible with DirectX11 it’ll be all that’s necessary for gaming itself for a Windows OS until more games implement DirectX12 (at least I think W7 is natively DX11 compatible, someone can correct me if I’m wrong).

Of course, many games still use DirectX 9.0 and some variant thereof (I think predominantly the C-variant?), which XP and Vista are compatible with (and I heard Vista may be DX10-compatible at least, again I may be wrong). So if you really don’t play games that aren’t compatible with later DX versions, XP/Vista may be your best bet.

No, you can't. A 64Bit OS is required.

Assassin’s Creed Unity PC Specs - UbiBlog - Ubisoft®
Assassin's Creed Unity PC Specs Require a Lot of Your Rig

The rest of the specs are fairly demanding as well. I'm mixed about the GPU recommendations... it feels insanely steep and I'd like to see benchmarks before I say flat out that you should go buy a new GPU for this game... but the OS requirement is pretty firm. Go 64 bit or go home.

Brief edit for this answer: Since the game has launched, the PC port seems to be exceptionally demanding on the GPU end of things... I think this is a case where the high end GPU posted in Ubisoft's specs really is required... many people suspect the fault is a poor PC port... from the data and benchmarks I've seen, I'm inclined to agree. For the price of the GPU you'd want to run Assassin's Creed Unity on a PC on max settings you could buy a PS/4 or Xbox One and a copy of the game... and that's just kind of scary.

I love people like you.

You come here and ask about games that will run on your PC, but you do not specify what processor, graphics card and how much RAM you have (I omit the timing and type of RAM because it is less important here) - so how do you want to get an answer when your question is missing key information so that an answer can be given at all.

Because a 32-bit system can mean many versions of Windows - starting from Windows 9x / Me (although they were hybrids of 16-bit / 32-bit) to Win XP / Win 7 or even the latest Win 10 (also in 32-bit version) ).

Hardware spread can also be large - from the final Pentium III to Celeron / Pentium from the Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge generation + 4GB of frames and iGPU.

Whelp, specifying your CPU in general is not enough of a measure of its capabilities, since you fail to mention its specific specs + your GPU.

But of course, the age of such a system is indicative of its performance range. Since it is a laptop, with a CPU built around (before) 2010 i’d not expect it to be able to play modern AAA games (anything after 2015 should be a problem, unless it is an indie game, and many games after 2010 might also be problematic)

Now, this does not mean you cannot game. It just means that what you can play is limited a bit.

You could see some “best games of all time” lists and select stuff that sounds sensible.

I will still post a few old and new ones, that i personally like, that should be playable though. Let’s hope we have similar preferences.

So, in no specific order (just what comes into my mind):

Some current, low spec games with great depth:

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead: Open source roguelike, a survival sim at heart with loads of content. Recommend trying the experimental version, as it is quite stable usually and current (while the stable one was released in 2014, the devs daily work on this game in this period, just haven’t got around to releasing a new version)

Endless Sky: Open source 2D space trading / exploration / combat game.

RimWorld: Commercial space colony sim.

RULE THE WAVES: Commercial naval design & combat sim covering the period 1900–1925 (meaning no aircraft - duke it out with big guns instead)

Faster Than Light: Commercial spaceship management sim / roguelike

Many turn-based land wargames also do not need great cpu’s or gpu’s to get played. Examples: Unity of Command, Gary Grigsby's War in the East

Or you could try some great oldies, constantly modded and upgraded by the community / new devs. There are many such games that ‘refused to die’. Some examples:

Jagged Alliance 2 | Modder’s forum

Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear

Plus, you can play any number of great games from before 2010, that you may have missed.
