My home entertainment computer is still running Windows 7. I figure as long as I

I still have an XP computer, but I haven't fired it up for years. I wish I could
get Win 7 to run as if it was XP. I have a couple of games I like that won't run
on Win 7 or later.

There used to be a XP compatibility mode that was meant for just that problem.

I had a laptop that originally came with "Vista" and I hated the versions of the
games that came with it (Spider, FreeCell, Solitaire ...) so I just copied the
XP versions and added them to the Windows/System folder.
They worked fine. And they still work fine on 64-bit Windows 7.
They worked so well that just now is the first time I ever looked to see if
Windows 7 included games of its own.
If Micro$oft doesn't have a clue, I bet there's other fans of that particular
game who had the same problem and somewhere out on the interwebbys there's
instructions on how to get them to work under Windows 7.
