Steam games after 2020

It wasnt an easy setup. I had to try seveal drivers, till i found one which doesnt crashes even on the desktop. 12.1 worked well. Then the had disks initialized in udma4 and such... despite having a 40 pin ide cable. Of course the file system got garbled, bsods, etc. Windows 7 even ignored the udma settings of the bios (the bios forced it to udma2 but the drivers ignored it).
Somehow i managed it to bring them down to udma2/udma3 and then the computer became stable. Then it took me several hours to install all the patches and rumtimes for windows 7 to be even able to start up these newer games. The project consumed the entire day, but at the end i succeeded.
