Getting Reader Rabbit to work on Win 11

I've never seen another education game series quite as good as "Reader Rabbit" from The Learning Company back in the late 90's.

I would like to set up some of the older games for my son to play, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. I'm not particularly tech savvy, and Google says that 32-bit games should run on Win 11, but the 32-bit installer doesn't work. If anyone knows how to get "Reader Rabbit Personalized First Grade" running on Win 11, I'd appreciate directions.

I own the CD, but I'd welcome suggestions for trustworthy websites that I could download a copy of the game from.

Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon

I'm trying to play this PC game from 2002, "Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon."
I own the CD, but I can't get it to work on Windows 11.

I would like to be able to play it without the CD. It used to be on Steam, but it's been taken down.

I downloaded files from here: https://archive.org/details/TPRTS
The description says, "This game has copy-protection, but there is a no-cd within this ISO (however the ISO will still need to be mounted, and if you put it on to a disk, it will still need to be in the drive)"

I can't figure out what the "no-cd" is, or how exactly to mount the ISO. Does anyone know what I can do to play this game without the CD? If anyone has a link to another reliable website to download the files, that would be a welcome suggestion also.
