Windows 10: Freecell in Windows 10

Hi all

I play Freecell faily regularly and, nerdish or not, I like to select the number of the game I want to play. On the old system (Windows 7 and earlier), it was very easy by File>Select Game. However, I can't find any way of doing that on the Windows 10 version. Does anyone know of a way of doing this? Thanks.

Mobilityware Freecell for Windows 10 (PC)

We have Microsoft Solitaire Collection with Freecell in Windows 10. What everyone is asking about is MOBILITYWARE FREECELL not Microsoft Freecell. Pay attention, please!

 

Unable to find FreeCell game on Windows 10.

I'm sorry, I worded this query incorrectly. Where is the Freecell I had on Windows 7? I saw the Freecell in the Microsoft Solitaire Collection and the play store. I don't like that Freecell. It's ugly, works ugly and doesn't have good
choices. How can I restore Freecell Windows 7 and my scores? Can I uninstall Windows 10 and retrieve Windows 7 Freecell?

 

Click the 3 lines... they call this the hamburger button. Then select Game Options, you can enter the game number there.

 

Thanks for that. I've tried the hamgurger button but there is no Game Options. There is another query attached to this - the tile that the Solitaire Collection (which os the only place I can find Freecell) is on is called X Box Live and it seems that you can only play Freecell if you are on line. Is this normal or is there another way you can play?

 

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

 

That's great! Thank you. I've now downloaded them - my only problem is how to work out how to put them on the start menu individually. Thanks once again.

 

There is, but you need to resize the window. Also, it works fine without internet access, but you may need internet access initially to set it up (not sure).

 

On the left hand side of start menu, look for recent added files, right click and pin to start.
@Mystere,
True but the graphical interface of those games are terrible.

 

It didn't seem to want to do that. I tried it and it didn't give me that option. However, with mystere's help, I can use the one already loaded. Thanks all the same.

 

I didn't notice it tucked down there! With all your help, I think I am happy with the loaded version. This is what these forums are so good for. I think most people would never be able find these things out if it were not for people like you. As far as I know, there is no user manual for Windows for things like this, so thanks again.

 

Thanks for this, I was able to install and got my game history back.

 

The x64 file downloads without any problem and Norton Internet Security (NIS) informs that is is a safe file, but the x86 file is removed by NIS after download with the information that it is not safe. Can you correct it?

Thanks for these files. I have been trying to help a couple of friends who are upset about losing the favourite games. The files install OK but then they don't run. No error message, just no response ??? Any ideas?
