Not sure what you mean by "download from xp"? Do you mean "for" xp ? A link to the Youtube version might be helpful ?

Is there a bowling game available on Windows XP that you want to download to your current computer, which by your own accord runs Windows 10 Home Premium?

In my opinion: Avoid this if possible. Chances are that you will search google for "Windows xp bowling game" and find some scetchy executables. If you send us a link that portrays this said bowling game then maybe somone can find a good mirror for you.

I think @jerrypc1 is talking about Hyperbowl Plus!

This was not supplied by MS as part of XP, the games that were included were the card games (eg: Solitaire) and Pinball. Those games can be copied from an old XP machine or an XP install CD to a W10 machine and will run perfectly (the card games also require a copy of cards.dll). No install required, just copy then to a folder and run them from there.

Microsoft supplied additional games, including Hyperbowl Plus! as part of the 'Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP' CD. There were extra lanes available for Hyperbowl Plus! on purchasing an upgrade.

The version of HyperBowl included in Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP contains two of the six lanes initially available (Classic and Pins of Rome) and is designed for a single player. When the upgrade has been purchased and installed, four additional lanes are installed.

Rather than searching for the original XP version, why not try the version of Hyperbowl available in the Microsoft Store for a modest price?
