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

@lx07:

Yes, that's exactly what I mean, except it was directed at the guy that initially said no comment.

Not exactly, I think you're confused.

It's better to leave your opponent uncertain of your position, rather than give it away to them, because then you have an advantage. If you can control the mind of your opponent, you have already won the war. I much prefer indirect warfare over direct warfare. Not that anyone here is an enemy, just that I'm very untrusting of people, even my own family and relationship partners.

I'm a student of the "art of misdirection", commonly used in magic, but also in other areas. It entails making people believe you are doing one thing when you're actually doing something entirely different, and right before their very eyes.

 

I have just upgraded my wife's laptop to Win 10- 32bit , but cannot download any card games from the M.S Store for her. I get as far as Selecting 'Free' on the Store page, but then get the message " Try Again Later.- Something happened at Our End" !!
I have tried again and again, but get the same message.
Are the M.S Games bit specific i.e. are there 64bit and 32bit packs, or could I copy the games off my Win 10 - 64bit PC, and paste in the 32bit laptop ?

 

If you wish, you can install the game pack of Windows 7 from my G-Drive. Will work with Windows 10:

• For X64: msgames_win8_x64.msi
• For X86: msgames_win8_x86.msi

 

You have "twiddled" with the installer (if that is a word). It works up to 10586 - I know that and I love it.

It doesn't work after 10586 though on any RS1. It installs, the programs are put in C:\Program Files

They don't run though. You click on the .exe and it does nothing.

Try it.

 

What is RS1 ? As fas as I know, I am running the latest 10586.104 and it's working.

 

10586 is the build number of the current general release of Windows 10. It is also known as TH2 (Threshold 2) or 1511 (November 2015). Your games work fine on these releases..

The games however don't work on any insider preview builds later than that. RS is short for Redstone and the current insider build is 14257.

You have changed somehow the installer so it works. OK.

All the old Threshold releases worked (old preview builds, 10240 and 10586).

Later releases (called redstone or RS and with build numbers greater than 10586) do not work. The games install but do nothing.

Hope that is clear enough.

 

OK, silly me. However, I don't use Insider builds and I think most people don't use it either.

 

Thanks for the link Cliff. *Smile

 

If you have an issue then I suggest you report your concerns to a mod or admin rather than acting like one.

 

You're welcome Jeff*Wink

 

Just tried them and sadly.,. they don't work. *Sad

 

Not at all mate- I hope I didn't come across being dismissive.

The question was can you transfer Windows 7 games to Windows 10.

The answer is yes. But after the next major upgrade (in April or whatever they foist Redstone out generally) they will not work.

You can get them to work (apparently according to MDL) but it is a bit too involved for this forum.
