I ran into old software (for Windows XP), especially games not working even with compatibility mode used for the install and opening of the app. Now if the publisher or Steam or some party puts a tad bit of effort, then yes, those games can work, although I guess a big part of that is also hardware and driver related if talking about 3D games for instance.
