August 2, 2012On your XP computer, do a search for freecell.exe, solitaire.exe and so on. Then you can copy those .exe files onto a thumb drive, and then copy and paste them into your Windows 7 computer.

August 2, 2012What version of Windows 7 are you using?
These Games are already included but may need to be installed/turned on.
Go to Start then Control Panel.
In Control Panel open ‘Programs’ category or ‘Programs and Features’ if in the icon view.
In there open Turn Windows Features on or off.
Give that a few second and you should get a list of items.
In there you will find a subfolder Games which can be expanded.
Tick the games you want to play and then click ok to have windows install them.
You should then find them in your Start Menu under Games.
Hope this helps.

August 5, 2012i think you are taking to copy that games you have installed,
For that find out the whole installed files and take a backup of them!
I always prefer to install games on other drive then primary one!
it will be more useful to install on usb drive!
it makes easy sharing !

August 8, 2012If they are games other than default, you should have the installation files either on your computer or on a disk. You can use Game save manager (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CGAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamesave-manager.com%2F&ei=3tMhUMajKaS6yQHij4DgBQ&usg=AFQjCNG49sSmXK2PBIz-4aLkfncB19QjrQ&sig2=UU2yyE2UZqHPdu3unzzHrA)
