Current Events > Is there a way to get Windows XP Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Freecell now?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I want all those and even spider solitaire on windows 10, because the modern versions are so garbage they literally need to load first before starting (complete with annoying animations and flashes and crap) and I just want the simple, straight to the point versions of the games for when I'm procrastinating on the PC.

Why not the Windows 7 versions?

All of these are on the Microsoft store. Or do you want the old versions to run on Windows 10. I found the Windows 7 versions and how to get those.

I scanned the pack with VIrustotal and it came out clean, has good reviews, are these the games you are looking for? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/7/8/AAEru5AAC_8C.jpg

Install Windows XP on a virtual machine and copy the executables over to the real computer.

Those look very similar thanks! It's basically that games pack that used to come with windows 95 and 98 computers like chips challenge, rodents revenge, ski free, etc, but by Windows XP and the 2000s they stopped offering us those games so it's just the card games like solitaire, freecell, minesweeper, etc. I don't think even Taipei was offered but I'd have to find an old working PC with XP still on it to confirm.

Minesweeper would look like this typically:

Solitaire and freecell would look like this

You can tell by the really oldschool looking graphics and it wasn't called klondike yet.

The last time I tried to do something like that to play a windows 95/98 game, it came out all buggy and wouldn't play right though

Ski Free remaster when?

I want to make my modern OS look like windows 98
