I played Pinball the most when it comes Windows bundled games. Second one was Internet Checkers.

Not sure about sound issues in those Win7 games, I think sound not working might be more an exception than the rule. They seem to use use Direct3D 9 for graphics and DirectSound (8) for sound. Can't tell if related, I don't mess with my installs too much, but generally, I didn't like the first iterations of Windows 10 and the Windows 8. They were quirky in some ways. But 1809 and even Win11 23H2 (with old taskbar brought back) still have some bug with taskbar that occur when you have some program pinned and you move it around between monitors, the icons may duplicate and the duplicates tend to miss their icon. At least it happens if you have taskbars set to only show programs from monitor they're on. I don't even know if this was a problem on earlier versions. I stopped worrying as much about Windows oddities sometime after start of Win10 era.

I should've probably left it alone when settling with Win10 1809, at least until I came across anything that really wanted a newer version. Guess I chased something better, but it doesn't always turn out like that. I thought about installing some other version of Win10 than Win10 20H2, but haven't been feeling like it and not sure what to go for, just the latest 10 or some other build.

Best pinball game ever is Psycho Pinball:

It's running fine in DOSBox.
