can I buy the old Windows 7 games for Windows 8?

OK, I'll leave on the side of all the sarcastic comments on Windows 8, which I hate to date very well. I bought a DESKTOP COMPUTER, and I want the FUNCTIONS of OFFICE, not smartphone, uncompressed, etc.. I went from a perfectly usable in a non-intuitive and cluttered environment Windows 7 environment ridiculously all of a sudden, and I have used all versions of Windows since I made the leap from BACK to Windows 3.1.

But anyway.
I want the old version of Solitaire and Freecell, the kind that took only a small part of the screen so that you can wait to (for example) or play during boring parts of a Webex (for example) and do not interrupt the rest of what you do.
I read many messages of complaint on this site and the enormous amounts found in a Google search, and I think that Microsoft has the message that people want the old version but so far did not care one iota.
So, can I BUY an old version of games? I'm not interested in free downloads from CNET, etc, they have ads and other junk that comes with free downloads.
I'm not interested in wasting any more time with the dam * "store" "charm".
Anyone know if I can actually buy the old games? A person stands make money from us oldtimers, if so.
Thanks in advance for any advice unless advice that I "get with the new times" and etc. I'm on the 'new time' and I'm not afraid of technology. I WANT JUST THE OLD GAMES REALLY SIMPLE.

Is not obvious because there is no title bar to drag, but you can do as a normal program: just tap the very top edge of the screen and drag and down and each side to snap into place.  The next program you open and then will open in the remaining empty space.

If you have a touch screen, you can use the same movement by dragging it down, from the top edge.

  • How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

    Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

    I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

    I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

    How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

    It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

    I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

    I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

    Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

    I look forward to your reply.

  • Where can I buy the new ATI Radeon 3650 for Satellite A300D mobility?

    Hi all

    very simple question, where can I buy new unused mobility graphics card Ati Radeon 3650 for model toshiba A300D - 16Q, omg help me pls, thanks ;)))

    Very simple question for you, but not just for the members of the forum.
    For desktop computers, you can purchase almost all hardware, but for mobile units, it's a bit complicated, especially if you need new motherboard.

    General graphics card is not available in the separate framework and what you can buy is any motherboard. You'll be lucky if you will be able to buy the graphics card used somewhere.

    You will be able to find the entire motherboard but the graphics card... it is not easy to find.

  • Can I buy somewhere the old version of Photoshop, for example Photoshop CS3?

    Buy the old version of Photoshop for example Photoshop CS3?

    You may stumble on a copy wandering cs6 somewhere, but chances are it is hacked. It is not officially for sale, anywhere. CS3 I think you can forget safely.

    That said, $10 per month gets you the updates later, future included and Lightroom thrown. Any way you calculate it is much better to manage.

    OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

    An OEM license is not transferable.

    Computer of my wife is dead, so I did a new one supplied with Windows 7 already installed.  Can I sell the box Windows 7 Upgrade CD I bought for his old computer?  We no longer use this license - we pulled the hard drive of the old computer OS and make it like a secondary on his new computer.  If the license is no longer used by us - or it will never again - but I do not know if someone would experience difficulties to activate if they we bought because I do not know if we can 'turn off' the old license.

    Yes, you can sell it, you will need to inform the seller that they may have to use the phone activation because it was already in use:

    Hello

    You do not remove the "old" Windows updates.

    If you do, you lose the performance and the improvements in security that they give and you put your computer at risk of breaking or be infected by malware...

    Original title: a few questions about reinstalling windows

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7, you should be able to use the product key located on the COA sticker that is attached to the system unit and reinstall Windows 7.

    COA certificate of authenticity:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/howtotell/content.aspx?PG=COA

    ??

    What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
