I don't think the games problem is because of country. The default Windows 7 games are all xBox now, or so it looks.

I don't think you can copy without violating the Windows 7 EULA.

So, seems there is no way.
It is because of sanctions. Microsoft doesn't support our country.

Yes, it says:
Sorry, Windows Store isn't available in your region.
I even tried to set it on Freegate to hide my location; but I couldn't.
I had turned off "Let apps use my location" in Setting>Privacy.

It worked fine, all my old games are up and running, I had done this before in Consumer Preview as well.
