Another kind-of, sort-of parth is to install vmware... this makes your windows 8.1 into 7 or xp (whatever is needed) and allows you to play all your old games on the same platform, without needing programers to re-invent the wheel for you.
Back to windows 10, there is talk of making x-box and pc (windows store games) able to play each other... imo that has some legs.
