If a computer game says it will work for Windows XP and Windows Vista will it work for Windows 7?

I want to get a computer game for my brother as his Christmas present. He just got a new laptop with Windows 7. But all of the games say Windows XP and Windows Vista. They will still work for Windows 7, right?If a computer game says it will work for Windows XP and Windows Vista will it work for Windows 7?
Yes, the vast majority of the time if it says it will work on Vista it will work on Windows 7. And many Windows XP compatible things will as well. There are a few games that have issues -- often related to online play -- but there are usually workarounds people figure out, or else the manufacturer releases a fix.



Worry primarily about if his computer meets the hardware requirements.
Not necessarily. Secondly, how do you know his computer even has the resources (Ram, processor, and video processor) to even run the game to begin with?If a computer game says it will work for Windows XP and Windows Vista will it work for Windows 7?
Yup, for about 95% of the titles out there. Exceptions are mainly the oldest titles that were designed for Windows XP. If it says XP/Vista, it should work fine.
Probably not. You could go to the website for the game however and ask their support team. There's a feature in Windows Vista that allows you to run programs in a "compatibility mode" perhaps Windows 7 also has it. I don't have any experience with that OS though. So I'm not sure.If a computer game says it will work for Windows XP and Windows Vista will it work for Windows 7?
maybe it will work well in your brother's new laptop.



just because most of the vista games is compatible with windows 7 .



but there is also some exception .



install is one thing ,but fluent gaming is another . the video card , memory , cpu, and bandwidth of your network is also important factors to games.
it should work on 7 if it's work on vista,but u have to make sure ur bro's com meet the game's requirement also
It should - if it works on Vista, it works on Windows 7.
