Windows 10: can i transfer W7 Games to W10 this question hasn't been fully answer

this question hasn't been fully answered

Windows 10 Constant Refreshing & Dell Inspirion N5050

Upgraded to W10 from W7. Constant refreshing. Dell says it hasn't been tested on this laptop. Is there a fix or update? This is getting ridiculous. The thing constantly refreshes. W7 is good. W8.1 is a joke. I like W10; can we get this fixed on
the Dell Inspirion N5050?

 

W10 Crashing with BSOD error: WHEA_Uncorrectable Error

I have now rolled back to W7, so although my question was not fully answered, I am operational again.

Due to the hardware issues encountered, I see no way to upgrade to W10 again.

Thank you

Which games are you transferring?

 

The built-in games of Win7 can be transferred using Copy but you have to get one or more support files from Windows. There has been posted on the Internet a pair of files for downloading, 32-bit and 64-bit versions, which can be installed to get those games onto Win10, check a page here:
windows 7 games for windows 10 at DuckDuckGo
I've done the install without issue but do note that is for the built-in games of Win7. I think that fully answers the question unless you need a visit to do it for you.

 

@jimbo45 has posted them for download in Dropbox on eight Forums, as they're .msi files the should install in 10 also: Win 7 Games to Win 8 - Page 5

 

Aren't the files in these games copyrighted? If so, then it would probably be against the law to redistribute them without MS's consent. Which is why it's better if we just pull the necessary files from 7 ourselves, either from a real 7 install or from 7 in a virtual machine.

 

Then if that is your argument(copyright) the VM better be activated with a key first*Wink

 

Thank you very easy when you know how, done in 5 minutes thanks again and to everybody else that helped.

 

You're welcome.

 

@ Cliff S: There's really no need to activate the VM with a key at all, only that you should obtain the files yourself rather than downloading them (since distributing/downloading them may cross questionable legal boundaries). You can either leave the VM unactivated, or download a trial copy of 7 Enterprise direct from MS (which is perfectly legal, and available to anyone with a Microsoft account).

 

No comment*Zip

 

If I have no comment, then I simply won't say anything at all (because "no comment" is still a comment nonetheless). I would rather summarily ignore them altogether, and leave them wondering what my position is.

 

The Window 7 games don't work on any RS1 release - 10586 is the last build they will work. After that you can install them but running the .exe does nothing. Not sure how or why but MS seems to have blocked them

If you like solitaire then this is quite a good (free) alternative. Download 123 Free Solitaire - MajorGeeks

 

Is your comment that you wouldn't say "no comment"?

Or are you saying you will not post about something by posting about it?

What is the point of your post then? I do wonder (idly) what your position is and also what subject your are supposed to have a position on (assuming you do).

I'm astonished - this is one of the most confusing posts ever.. Congratulations *Smile
