Wait, so with "older games" you just mean Renegade and RA2?
Really, you should specify such things instead of just saying "all of the older games".
A quick google for "RA2 minimize" got me this solution:
- Get Bibber's fixed TUC launchers (ModDB link since Bibber's own site seems to be under maintenance)
- Set RA2 and YR to run as administrator and in compatibility mode for Windows 98.
- If necessary, apply the C&C Graphics Patcher: http://www.stuffhost.de/files/cnc/
It's also advised to disable Origin In Game for all these games. This can be done in the games' properties in the Origin application.

Origin has been disabled on all of them already that graphical patch I just tried and no luck...
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for trying I think I need to accept my computer can't run them.

Very peculiar issue... I'd heard of such problems on RA2, but never on C&C/RA1, especially with the patches we got now. What kind of laptop is this, specifically?
Does enabling or disabling CnC-DDraw in the configuration tool of C&C95 (CCConfig.exe, in the game folder) make any difference? You mentioned windowed mode... did you try that in C&C95 too? It's one of the extras added by the CnC-DDraw graphics fix. And if so, what exactly did that do when you tried it?

Sorry for the late reply I run an Acer Aspire V3 772G-9643 Updated from Windows 8 to 10, as for the suggested settings they minimize on the main menu still so no luck there.
As for Windowed the game either loads up black screen with no audio or just minimizes and stays in the task bar not even attempting to maximize if you click it.
The only older game I have gotten to run is TS with the Dawn of the Tiberian age Launcher so far.
