Windows 7 games on Windows 10

[Ali AlAttab]

After we update our Computer with the new Windows 10. Would the games we had in the previous Operating system work on the Windows 10 or do we have to buy them again? And if yes would our old save date work on the W10 version?

there should be no problems at all, unless you're talking about games for windows 95... :winktongue: at least, you can be sure that games for vista/7/8.1 are going to work on windows 10

when you buy a game you get a license that activates the game, no matter which OS you install the game on; as long as you only have one single copy of the game activated, it's going to work, no need to buy the game again. as for the savedatas, you just paste them in the right directory and they're going to work as well

Backward compatibility is a cornerstone of Windows.
