    Welcome to the forums!

    You might be able to run some of your games using WINE:

    Wine HQ

    Otherwise, you might have to dual boot between Linux and Windows.

    Check the link posted above for very good documentation on using WINE. Look for it in the repositories for your Linux distribution, and install from there.

    If you already have Windows installed on your computer, most Linux distributions will offer you the opportunity to dual-boot between Windows and Linux during the Linux installation routine. If you choose that option, it's pretty much an automatic process for the most part.
