Most of the times yes, however there may be occasions where a game will not run due to a missing .dll file, which may not be included with DirectX 11, you would then need to go here:

Me personally i have never really had a problem running older games on Win 7, and when i did, it was a missing .dll file.
You can of course run in XP compatibility mode too, don't forget this, when attempting to run certain games.
For even older games, Skybird, you may want to check out this:

It is a emulator for the PC, which i use to run old(er) games also, it works great!
Check the compatibility list for a extensive list of games supported!
On a sidenote: DirectX, whichever O.S. you are using will be automatically updated through 'Automatic Updates' so normally you wouldn't need to do anything.
