My Windows 7 system died (boo hoo). I now have another Windows 7 system (YEAH!!!), but, I would like to transfer my FREECELL stats. (500 plus wins without a loss – thank you very much.) The system hard drive from the dead system is intact and I have added it to the new system as a secondary drive. The new system will not allow me to play the FREECELL while it resides as the 2nd drive, but I can, of course, play the new systems FREECELL. Can I transfer the stats? Thank you.
