Last 3 what?
Games?
Which games? Game requirements are all over the place.

Here are the system requirements for Draugen listed at
https://pcgamesrequirements.com/draugen-system-requirements/

Minimum system requirements:

Intel Core i5
6 GB RAM
Geforce GTX 670 / AMD HD 7870 with 2GB VRAM
DirectX 11
Windows 7 (64-bit)


Recommended system requirements:

Intel Core i7
8 GB RAM
Geforce GTX 980 or Radeon RX 580 with 4 GB VRAM
DirectX 12
Windows 10 (64-bit)

So it will certainly run on Windows 7 64-bit.
It's probably not going to run on a computer with onboard graphics instead of a real video card.

Can you give us the model of your Dell and we can look up your specs? It's not about Windows 7 so much as it is about whether you have a good enough video card, RAM etc. I looked up the system requirements for The Park and although they aren't terribly high, the game does require a stand-alone video card. As Jenny said, assuming you have integrated graphics, the game is not going to work.

If you decide to buy a new computer capable of playing new games, the first thing to consider is your budget. If you can let us know, we can help you figure out what you should look for.

What I'm finding is this is an all-in-one computer. Meaning the monitor and the computer components are all together. Is that correct?

There were multiple configurations available for this computer, so it's hard to tell what exactly is in it. But even with the upper end of available configurations, this computer is not made for gaming and will not be able to play much beyond casual Big Fish type games.

If you are interested in a new computer which can play some of the games you're purchased and are unable to play on this one, we can help you decide what to get.

Sure! First thing I would need to know is your budget. Then laptop or desktop? A laptop is going to be more expensive for the same compoonents, but if your space is limited, it's an option.

You should expect to spend a minimum of $800 for a desktop.

If Leeana currently has an all-in-one she might also need to buy a monitor if she decides on a desktop.

If you want to stick with Dell, this is not a bad desktop for gaming. It has a "real" video card, a Radeon RX 570 which scores higher that the Nvidia GTX 1050. It is on sale for $700 which leaves you some room to buy a new monitor if you need to. It's still pretty low end for a gaming computer, but you will definitely have to spend more to get more. There is no CD drive... So many of the newer computers don't have them. That is easily remedied if you need a CD drive with an inexpensive external CD drive... like maybe $20 - $25.

Jenny, I don't know much about Raedon processors... what do you think of the Ryzen 5 1400 CPU?

This one is right at $800. It has a Core i5 8400 processor and a GTX 1060 video card, but the video card score is still similar to the RX 570. The scoring I could find gave the Core i5 8400 significantly better marks than the Ryzen 5 1400.This one also doesn't have a CD drive.

If you need a monitor, this is just an example. It's 23.5" and even has built-in speakers if you don't mind less than stellar sound! If you need speakers, a decent set isn't very expensive.

Radeon is AMD's video card, Ryzen is their processor. I'm not sure which you meant.
I always go with AMD video cards when I build my own, as does my brother.
They give you more for the same price. As long as you're not looking for top-of-the-line fastest thing out there spare no expense, Radeon cards are worth consideration.

For the Ryzen 5 1400 processor I found this
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/AMD-Ryzen-5-1400/Rating/3922

They say the Ryzen 5 1400 is "entry level" but it's the video card that's the important thing for gaming anyway.

Also keep in mind that benchmarks favor Intel processors, not because they are better but because of how the processors work. For real world results I've read that you won't see Intel processors as being appreciably better, especially for similar price, and for some applications Ryzen is better.

I don't think many computers come with a CD/DVD drive anymore. Even if you have one custom built, the option for a CD/DVD drive is often them sending you a USB CD/DVD drive along with the computer (the way they may send you a mouse or keyboard separate from the computer) and not having one built in.

Interesting that the Radeon RX 570 in this computer
https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/29ws
has 4 GB of video memory

while the nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 in this computer
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/cty/pdp/spd/inspiron-5680-gaming-desktop/ndblutcf103s
only has 3 GB of video memory.

I'm not sure how many upcoming adventure games require as much or more than 3 GB of video memory. Probably not many.

Yes, I misspoke, didn't I! I saw that 4 GB vs. 3 GB in the GPUs... usually they say you get more "bang for the buck" with the AMD components. I'm just not very familiar with them as I always use Intel or Nvidia.

I never had any issues with games arising from using an AMD processor, as long as the video card was fast enough for the game.

It's interesting that the original price of those two Dell computers is a lot closer than the sale price. $928.99 vs $938.99 is only $10 apart while the sale prices are $100 apart.

I think 8GB of memory is a little low for futureproofing. It's still enough for adventure games, but for how long I don't know. But having Dell add memory would eliminate the sale price.

Here's another review of the Ryzen 5 1400 where they say it's a great value
https://www.techspot.com/review/1386-amd-ryzen-5-1400/page6.html

Either computer would be OK and IMO they're roughly equivalent as regards specs. I'd go for the less expensive one considering it's $100 less and you might want to put that money toward a monitor.

For sure... as I told Leeana, to get more computer, she will have to spend more money. $800 is about the low end basic minimum to start from. Ideally, one would get a Core i7 or equivalent AMD processor, a better video card and 16 GB of memory for a bit of future "proofing." But then the price starts soaring over $1,000.

I'm still running games like Witcher 3 and the new Prey game on 8 GB of RAM. I tried upgrading it once with 8 GB more, ordering the exact same sticks as are already in the case. The new sticks threw my computer into a boot loop and wiped out my BIOS! Luckily my motherboard has a backup BIOS and after I got everything back up and running and sent the defective RAM back, I just haven't gotten around to trying again.
