    Trying to install Windows 8 MS games in Win10TP


    Evidently, I need a file named ms_games_win8_x64.msi -- but searching everywhere, I can't find such a file other than at 'questionable" sites that want me to become a "premier" member!

    Any know where I can get this file?

    I tried copying over the Program Files folders and Users folders, and the programs won't launch -- probably because my existing Win8 version is 32-bit.

    :)

    mixradio app is not working

    So far NO. The app remains unavailable on my Lumia 830 Win10TP (in Canada). It worked in Win10TP when the installation was migrated from WP8. Can NOT reinstall it though.

    Windows 10 Technical Preview upgrade

    "Company officials have noted though if you join the
    Windows Insider Program and upgrade from Windows
    7 or Windows 8/8.1 to Windows 10, you will qualify for the free upgrade to the final release."

    As quoted by Andre de Costa, but MS has still not fully explained how this will be achieved.

    As asked by i-says: Basically, what is the upgrade path from the win10TP to licenced version if win10?

    Same $64 Question from me::

    What will the final upgrade path to W10, be for Window Insider's.?????????
