I'm still running the original Freecell on Windows 10. All it needs is
cards.dll driver and I have copied this on each time I got a new PC.

My home entertainment computer is still running Windows 7. I figure
as long as I keep an updated antivirus/malware program on it there
won't be any major problems.
I still have an XP computer, but I haven't fired it up for years. I
wish I could get Win 7 to run as if it was XP. I have a couple of
games I like that won't run on Win 7 or later.

There used to be a XP compatibility mode that was meant for just that
problem.

I had a laptop that originally came with "Vista" and I hated the
versions of the games that came with it (Spider, FreeCell, Solitaire
...) so I just copied the XP versions and added them to the
Windows/System folder.
They worked fine. And they still work fine on 64-bit Windows 7.
They worked so well that just now is the first time I ever looked to
see if Windows 7 included games of its own.
If Micro$oft doesn't have a clue, I bet there's other fans of that
particular game who had the same problem and somewhere out on the
interwebbys there's instructions on how to get them to work under
Windows 7.
