Select Windows XP (or the version of Windows XP that is running on your computer) from the dropdown menu, then select Run as administrator if you are prompted to do so. Then click on the Compatibility tab and check “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” again. If that doesn’t work, manually edit the shortcut’s properties by right-clicking it again and selecting Properties. A dropdown menu with available options will appear select Windows XP Service Pack 3 (or whichever version of Windows XP is installed on your computer) and click Apply at the bottom right corner of the window to confirm your selection. Then, click on Compatibility tab and check “Run this program in compatibility mode for:”. Right-click on the shortcut or executable file and select Properties. However, if for some reason the game does not run properly even after following these steps, try running it in Windows XP compatibility mode. Then, you’ll only need to follow the same set-up process you used before when setting up your game on Windows 7. Simply put all those games into an external hard drive or burn them onto a data disc before inserting them into your computer. Fortunately, this process is rather simple as long as the software in question supports being installed on previous versions of Microsoft’s operating systems. Whatever the reason may be, running Windows XP games on Windows 7 is actually possible as long as you have a legal copy of each program. Or perhaps you simply don’t have the disk space required to upgrade your operating system and all your programs at the same time. For some, it’s because there is a legally purchased game that just will not work with the newer version of Windows. There are a number of reasons why someone would want to run Windows XP games on their Windows 7 PC.
Yes, of course! Why would you want to run Windows XP games on Windows 7? Some of my clients ask me ‘Can Windows XP games run on Windows 7?’.
