Using old MS game files (Minesweeper, etc)
Hey tech folks. I have a backup of files from my old Win7 computer that includes those iterations of the games that used to be included with Windows. I'm currently on Windows 10 and really want to play Minesweeper. I don't want to get the new version from the MS Store with freaking ads, and I don't want to play on a website because I want an offline version.
I have the old Win7 game files. Do I need to get a Windows 7 emulator to be able to play them? Nothing happens when I try to open the .exe.
Along the same lines, I seem to recall a website that had versions of classic software that could be used on modern platforms........? Like to download. I can't remember anything so I might be wrong. I don't mind the XP or earlier versions of these games.
I just wanna play my computer games......
