Mar 06, 2019  Is it possible to download Windows XP free cell to windows 7 WE HAVE A NEW COMPUTOR THAT IS RUNNING WINDOWS 7. MY WIFE DOES NOT LIKE THIS FREECELL GAMEON WINDOWS 7.

Same Level Number with Windows XP. Object: To move all the cards to the foundations. Layout ·4 foundation piles (top right) - build up in suit from Ace to King. ·4 cells (top left) - storage locations for cards. Only 1 card allowed in each cell. ·8 tableau piles (below foundations and cells) - build down by alternate color. Move groups of cards if they are in sequence down by alternate color and if there are enough free cells that the cards could be moved individually. Spaces can be filled by any card or legal group of cards (see KingOnly for option). At the start of the game 7 cards are dealt face up to the leftmost 4 piles, 6 cards are dealt face up to the remaining piles. Notes ·Groups of cards in the tableau can only be moved as a group if there are a sufficient number of empty cells available to store the cards individually.

Tips ·Try to keep as many cells empty as possible.

Ditch the shiny and slow. Get old-fashioned but familiar Windows XP games working on your Windows 7 computer. They’re ugly, but they work the way you’re wired.

It’s probably surprising to most gamers, who stopped paying attention to the default Windows games around the time Windows 98 came out, but many people still play the default collection of card games at work, instead of working. Solitaire, Minesweeper, Hearts and Spider Solitaire remain a favorite of many office workers.

As a quick Google search reveals though, many of these people aren’t happy with the Windows Vista/7 versions of Solitaire and other classics. The cards are hard to see, some rules have changed and everything just feels slower. So if you want your classic XP games back then don’t worry, it’s possible. Here’s how.

Step 1: Find A Windows XP Computer

That’s right, you need access to a computer running Windows XP before you can do anything. There’s no way around this – I couldn’t find a safe download for the files, and I can’t provide them for you because of copyright complications.

It’s OK though, because Windows XP is still very much out there. Check your closet for an old Windows XP computer, or even a hard drive from such a computer. See if your friends, family or co-workers are still using XP. Heck, you can even grab the files from a VirtualBox or other virtual machine version of XP, if you have one.

Step 2: Grab The Relevant Files

Got your hand on a Windows XP computer? Good. Open the Windows Explorer, then go to

. You’ll see a warning when you do:

Don’t panic; you won’t break anything. Get into the folder and you’ll see the unholy mess that is Windows internal workings:

You’re going to need to scroll through here and grab a few files. I highly recommend you “copy” them to an empty folder on your desktop:

Freecell to download free
  • cards.dll
  • freecell.exe
  • mshearts.exe
  • sol.exe
  • spider.chm
  • spider.exe
  • spider.hlp
  • winmine.exe

You’re going to need

for most of these games, but other than that you can just grab the files related to the games you want. Get them into their own folder and you’ll have something that looks like this:

Download free cell game for windows xp

Wondering where Pinball is? It’s in it’s own folder:

.

Microsoft removed this game from Windows, which angers more than a few people (my amazing wife included.) Right this injustice – copy this entire folder and add it to the collection you just amassed.

Step 3: Copy To Your New Computer

Grab the folder you just created, and get it to your new computer. You can do this with a thumb drive, Dropbox, or however you like; it doesn’t matter.

Once you’ve got the folder on your new computer, put it wherever you like. You can open the games directly from your folder, or create shortcuts to them in your start menu.

Your games will all run flawlessly in Windows 7, and will work exactly the way you remember. Enjoy!

    thank'you

  3. thank'you! It works with windos 10!

    Can i put it in a tablet also?

    beatrice

  4. Thank you so much! I just shared it on the Microsoft Community boards.

    It was so simple and I didn't have to risk any nasty downloads. Thank goodness I made backups though.

    Lesson: Do not 'upgrade' your Windows OS BEFORE you back up the old one... or at least keep an old clunker PC around.

  5. Hi Justin
    Will this hack work on Windows 8.1?

  6. The best version ever of Spider Solitaire is the one included in Windows XP. I have been looking for it everywhere but nothing compares.

    Though I recently found this online (browser based) version of the game that resembles it closely. As it's online it works anywhere you have a browser including macs, phones and tables.

    Enjoy!

  7. Pls Can You You Upload These Files On Some Website Like 'Mediafire-4shared-google drive'
    Cuz I Don't Have A Old Windows Xp

  8. Thanks this works fine with 10 Cheers!!!

  9. THANK YOU! This worked for me! :)

  10. Justin

    I loaded the files as you suggest although ' Freecell ' was the only one I really wanted so it's the only one I have tried. The problem is I can't move any cards between columns or from the freecell anywhere either manually or by double click. The only moves I have is from column to the freecell or from column to stacks. Normally double clicking any card will cause the card to move between columns or if none is available it will move to available freecell.
    Your help would be appreciated.

    • Derek, try re-installing your video card files for your computer. Sometimes windows 7 and windows xp experience video card difficulties from transition from one to the other.

  11. Justin,

    Thanks for the help on XP Solitaire.

    I am also looking for a :Circle The Cat' game which is an executable under Win7. Do you know where I can find one?

  12. My XP box died ( I think it was just the power supply ), but that gave me an excuse to 'upgrade ' to a refurbished Win 7 machine,
    I also got a SATA/IDE to USB3 adapter because I needed some old docs from the XP machine . Just pulled the drive from the dead box, plugged it into the adapter and into my new USB port, and followed your instructions ( and grabbed the docs I needed as well ).

    Spider Solitare and Solitare the way my fingers remember!

    Thanks,

  13. I had already done all that you suggested to get xp hearts game over to my win 7 but when I start the game the screen is very small and I can't get it bigger. Any suggestions. Right now I use the magnifier in win 7 but that is a pain

  14. single use Windows XP Pro x64 is the best Solution.

  15. Hello!

    Windows 7 Windows Virtual PC can't see the burner.
    Windows 7 he have not one column Startmenü.
    Windows XP find DVD burners and he have one column Startmenü.
    You can you also Dualboot from Windows XP and Windows 7.

    • Patrick, When you have your virtual machine fired up, you should still be able to access all the drives on your box. I put all the files in a folder on the VM desktop, then copied to one of the other drives on the actual physical box...

  16. I transferred the files as described from my old XP desktop to my Windows 7 laptop. Everything went well until I went to play hearts. A hearts game started on my laptop but it is nothing like the old hearts game on my desktop. It was only playing against a computer and not people. Very confused why this occurred if I'm running files from the old computer???????

  17. This is friggin great. I bought a used stripped down computer with win 7 installed to use on line since my XP was no longer supported. As advertised the solitaire games were slower than christmas but your solution worked flawlessly. Can't thank you enough.

  18. Hi Justin I still play internet reversi on my broken XP laptop but the laptop is near its end so I want to copy the files on my win8 laptop because I believe its possible, but I'm no pc guru... I do believe there is some clever guys who know how. Maybe you can find a solution somewhere somehow sometime. thx for trying.

  19. Please help... yes everything works fine for the card games, but the other xp games like internet reverse etc. do not work?? thx

  20. I do not get sound......... but the game runs fine.....spider solitaire.

  21. Thanks, Justin. I try to keep everything as legal as possible on my computer. I've never been sure whether bringing a program forward from an old version of the OS would be considered a violation of the license, or not. I guess I thought that technically, it would be considered a violation. I've always thought it excessive to make it a violation to bring one small program forward, say a photo viewer, or game, or whatever, that worked better in an older version. I guess if it is technically a violation, the line has to be drawn officially somewhere, although like you say, they probably wouldn't care in this case because they certainly have much bigger fish to fry. Thanks again for the answer to my question, and for the nice post.

  22. Gadzooks.
    I have W-7 Pro.
    Fired up the Virtual XP and had all my old games.
    Just copied and pasted from XP to 7 Desktopnew folder.
    Thanks for the tip.

  23. Oops! That should have been 'games', not 'cames'.

  24. What is Microsoft's attitude toward copying these cames forward from version to version?

  25. Are you saying software designed for a 32 bit system will run on a 64 bit system?

  26. I once moved some old Win95 games to my XP system - because I loved JEZZBALL. :) I wondered if I could get Spider Solitaire onto my Win7 machine. Now I know I can.

  27. Any idea how to run 'Plus! Dancer' of 'Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition' in Windows 7?

  28. Woot! Now I can go back to always winning in Solitaire with Alt + Shift + 2. Who doesn't love winning?

  29. Great article! I grabbed files from an Asus EEE PC with Win Xp!

  30. Didn't find spider.chm or spider.hlp . These are help files though..the game will still play.

  31. Could I add games from Windows Vista Ultimate to a Windows 7 PC? I am thinking of Microsoft Tinker being able to run this game directly from my Windows 7 PC, and without having to go to sign into Windows Live?
