    I have never played GOG downloadable versions of Might and Magic only original CDs and those from Sold Out .
    I don't know though how do you patch MM 6-7 when you run GOG
    versions ?
    Does anyone have problem with Win 8.1 and GoG versions ?

    Finally , how do you install Big Daddy Jim's mods on GoG versions?

    could only be run in resolution 800x600
    But I even don't have this resolution option on my laptop
    has minimal res 1240x768 .
    So I wonder how players run it on modern systems ?

    It will just fit height of your screen and there will be two black bands on the sides. At least this is how it behaves on my laptop with 1920×1080 resolution.

But again, I run Linux & Wine. Many (mainly older) programs run better on Wine than on native Win.

I was told that these emulators would run normal programs, but not games.

    And the same for the "virtual machines".

    I remember being told many years ago by a games programmer that he routinely made use of undocumented DOS calls to get his games to run as fast as possible, and I fully expect the modern programmers will also use as many short cuts as they can find.

    Should they actually ever have paid some attention to things they have made, I'd perhaps use a Windows system now. But they haven't done and don't do so, and that's why I run Linux on my computers for quite a few years now.

    Since older games won't make them $$$, they won't care.
