    Trying to install Windows 8 MS games in Win10TP


    Evidently, I need a file named ms_games_win8_x64.msi -- but searching everywhere, I can't find such a file other than at 'questionable" sites that want me to become a "premier" member!

    Any know where I can get this file?

    I tried copying over the Program Files folders and Users folders, and the programs won't launch -- probably because my existing Win8 version is 32-bit.

    Which ones are you referring to? Aren't they already available in the store?
