I ask because on Microsoft's side there is hardly any official updates on that part. The most they'd report was about DirectX 9 applications.

Is there any partial unofficial or official documentation about old games compatibility and changes with each Windows upgrade, especially after ending support for Virtual PC?

I notice for example that many older W95 games would not even launch in the first years of W10, even with compatibility mode set to w95/98.

In January 2021 I bought Tropico on GOG and couldn't get it to run at all, not even software rendering. The retail copy didn't work either. Now it works fine. Whether Microsoft fixed it or something else, I don't know.
