    Hi, is DOS still built into Windows? Is it emulated? Will old DOS games run like they did on my XP system?

    You would be better off trying the free DOSBox emulator.

    Either that or just run Windows XP in XP mode. If you have a decent modern dualcore processor it shouldn't be an issue. It's not like those game were chomping up much memory anyway.
