1. Does anyone know where I can download these older games & if there is a way to get them working on Windows 10?
Chip's Challenge, Golf, Pyramid, Tetris & Tri-Peaks.
2. I already have these games, but is there a way to get these working on Windows 10?
Jezzball & Slam.
3. When an older game gives me the error "The code execution cannot proceed because ???.dll was not found", once I download the correct .dll, where do I place it?
You should find some via Google search e.g. https://winaero.com/blog/get-windows...or-windows-10/
If you post the exact name of the missinsg .dll file then someone may advise what other program (e.g. Visual C++) you need to install.
Those are all games from the Microsoft Entertainment pack. They are 16-bit games, so cannot run in 64-bit Windows 10. The should run in 32-bit W10 though.
Microsoft Entertainment Pack - WikipediaWindows Entertainment Pack (WEP) is a collection of 16-bit casual computer games for Windows. There were four Entertainment Packs in the original series. Many of the games were later released in the Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack. These games were somewhat unusual for the time, in that they would not run under MS-DOS. All games being 16-bit run on modern 32-bit versions of Windows but not on 64-bit Windows. Support for all versions of Microsoft Entertainment Pack ended on January 31, 2003.
They may well be 16-bit versions too. If so, they only work in 32-bit W10.
