    Windows 11 is not as compatible with older games as previous versions of Windows was, Windows 11 is tunes for high performance graphics cards and new games, many older games will not work correctly in Windows 11, you could try downloading DirectX 9 and installing that, then try running the older games in Compatibility mode for a previous version of Windows like Windows 7, if that does not get the games working, then the games are too old for Windows 11.
