Of course there are. Windows 10 is a pretty poor gaming O.S.
I was wondering if there are specific W7 titles that run poorly modern OS vs. W7.
Like Crysis is a famous one that runs best on XP.
Yeah, no. Never happened.
Windows 7 runs like trash on anything less than 2 GB for 32 bit and 4 GB for 64 bit. Windows Update for almost the entire lifespan of Windows 7 had a bug that would consume all available system memory on low memory systems and keep the machine locked up in a fever pitch disk swapping routine for literally days.

Windows 7 also consumes over twenty times the disk space that even an SP3 install of XP does. That grows exponentially larger with Windows Updates being downloaded and stored automatically on the machine, as well as volume shadow copies. Heaven forbid you have a bug that causes Windows to automatically generate crash dumps, which can eat up gigabytes. XP era machines can and did experience complete exhaustion of drive space, resulting in even slower machines. I've had even machines designed for Windows 7 have 100 GB drives completely eaten up with Windows memory dumps.
tl;dr, you're not getting better performance from a bloated OS on 256 MB of RAM. You must have had a fever dream one time years ago. There's a reason that a whole generation of kids grew up hating Asus EeePCs that had shitty Atom processors and 1 GB of RAM trying to run Windows 7. If you forced them to use a single core processor with 256 MB of RAM on Windows 7, you'd have a nationwide mutiny on your hands.
Windows 7 is literally Vista with a spit shine. There is no major difference between the two that would make 7 run better with less memory. I've built literally thousands of machines with both operating systems, they behave exactly the same on low memory, they run like garbage. You aren't doing anymore than notepad.exe and one 90s game on 512 MB of RAM on either. Forget about opening an internet browser. Windows 7 definitely in no way has better resource management than XP did.
Windows XP SP3 had the same minimum memory requirement as RTM, 64 MB. It would also run equally as garbage on 64 MB.
I played this last summer. There is a fix for that multicore cpu issue, which I ran into myself. It's just a 1 line edit to a config file. Played fallout 1, 2, 3, then New Vegas. Even restarted Fallout 4 but haven't kept playing it again, I played that previously, my first fallout game.Also Fallout 3 becomes unstable if you run it on a CPU with more than two cores and on a version of Windows newer than Vista.
Ja, I've never had an issue running Fallout 3 on Windows 10.Yeah, Windows XP is fine too. If it stays disconnected from the internet you will be fine.

As far as performance of xp/7, that was from my own experience. I ran dual-boot XP and 7, and only bothered doing so for a couple months. The Windows 7 was faster. I'm sure it depends on both the cpu and the ram, some combinations, Windows 7 results in a better experience. Of course it will run like shit (if at all) on something too old.

Yesterday's shitpost of the day is brought to you by SpongeBob.Retro from like 2009? That's not retro that's just obsolete. Also, the last time Nvidia raw dogged consumers. So if you want to relive Nvidia gouging consumers the first time you must be a fan boi lol.
Sorry but retro.... You got to be kidding me. We going to say a 2080 is retro in 2 years from now?Yesterday's shitpost of the day is brought to you by SpongeBob.
