I have compiled many pictures and other photo collections over the past tears using mt Paint program on Windows 95, 98 & XP.

I have recently obtained a new Lap Top with Windows7, and am not happy with the Paint version. Maybe my age makes me more comfortable with things I know. What I'd like to know is would I do so.I somehow replace the Windows7 Paint with the XP version, And if so how .

    Hi GavinBairstow,

    -Which version of Windows 7 installed in the computer?

    It is not possible.The older version will not work on Windows 7, as the paint version comes built-in with the operating system.

    However you can use Windows XP paint on Windows 7 by installing Windows XP Virtual Mose. If you have Windows 7 Ultimate, professional or Enterprise versions on the computer, download Windows XP virtual mode and use Windows XP paint.

    Hello GavinBairstow

    Download the XP version of MS Paint here, just open it once downloaded, Enjoy the old XP Version, tested on Windows 7, it works.

    Here is the exact link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33890349/Softwares/Microsoft%20Paint%20XP/XP\_mspaintxp.exe
