Help with Freecell game

bettyboop33 — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 14:49:08 GMT

On my old computer with windows xp I could select the game # I wanted to play. On my windows 7 computer that option is not available. Is there a way to select a game #?

@bettyboop33 I’m not familiar with windows 7, but there must be something somewhere that you can click on that will let you do that.

I kept my old desktop with Windows XP for 2 reasons---it has the Quicken 2010 version which I still use (later versions are terrible!) and it has the version of Free Cell which I love and which is probably the one you are referring to. I have never been able to find that version for my laptop and for some reason, I can't transfer it. I always use the random selection of game nos.

Hi bettyboop33,

The laptop I'm on as I type this runs on Windows 7 Home Premium and all the games that are accessible are found in the "Games" folder. All I do is go to the start icon > All Programs > Games folder and I click to expand it to find all the games: (i.e. Chess Titans, Dark Orbit, FreeCell, Games Explorer, Hearts, Mahjong Titans, Minesweeper, Solitaire, Spider Solitaire) don't really play them all but that is where I go to access them.

@Katrinka23, to get Wind7/XP games for Window 10 check out ( winaero.com/blog/get-windows-7-games-for-windows-10/ ), it is the site I use. Also, you can do a search on the phrase "play windows 7 games in windows 10" to find the games.

Caveat--when there is a major upgrade of windows the games may need to be reinstalled. Your settings for the games will still be there.

Thanks for the help. I wish I would have kept my old xp computer. I never thought that freecell would be changed. I had been playing freecell in numerical order and figured windows 7 I could do the same.

I'll just have to play in random order as they come up.
