    Getting classic Minesweeper working on windows 10


    Recently I have managed to get an ancient computer working with a version of Windows ME installed on it working. I was hoping to get the classic minesweeper stored there working on Windows 10, and so copied the executable and the .ini config file; This has not worked. When I attempt to launch it windows returns a message saying simply "This app can't run on this PC". Any suggestions?

    :)
