Okay, Arena, Daggerfall, Reguard, and Battlespire are all for PC, dating back to the DOS days. Morrowind is both for PC and the original Xbox. Oblivion and Skyrim are for PC, X360, and PS3.
For PC, I suggest you get rid of files and games that you never use or don't want anymore, then download DOSBOX. Next, you download the files for the first four games. You drag the game application to the Dosbox application and it will play, assuming your computer can understand how to use it. (I find Win 7 to be horrible at playing older games. Too much time experimenting with compatibility mode and beseeching Microsoft for a straight answer.)
For Morrowind, either buy it for Xbox or buy it for PC. There is no guarantee that it will work for PC. If it doesn't work, try it in compatibility mode (This is for if you're using Win 7)
For Oblivion and Skyrim, they'll work perfectly, all you need to do is find a good copy and install them.
