Hi and welcome. Depending on how old they are, and how NEW the children's games are, you may be spinning your wheels.

Easiest way is to look at the cpu and then look at the motherboard for any identifiying names and/or numbers.

You can download Everest Home Edition from majorgeeks--that will tell you what MOBO and processor you have.

Thank you counselor

If you can get them to boot you can normally get the ID string at the very first screen and identify the motherboard at least. The easiest way to identify the CPU is to take it out.
