try coping the minecraft game to a micro SD card and then copy to the surface (or play using the card itself). It should work.

If it is not a Microsoft APP it won't install. Surface only uses APPS from the Microsoft Store.

Sorry! Can't help you: (1) Until your message, I had never heard of "minecraft". (2) I never do games on my computers.

I'm sorry to have tell you this, but I have not put any games on my Microsoft Surface. At this time I'm still finding that I use my laptop more then the tablet. sorry

Windows RT is not windows 8.1.So, You have to go to the Windows store and install Blockworld. The free version is all you need. The developer of Minecraft continues to snub the RT platform, so Blockworld is a competing version. A lot of people like it.Furthermore, The Surface has "lite" versions of popular X-Box games, like Halo, Need for Speed, etc. They are quite good.

Try installing it as close as possible to the base. I had problems as well, but it eventually worked. You may have to reboot your system.

I've never played minecraft on it. It is a good general purpose computer. It's fairly rugged. I've played battlezone 3 on it and starcraft. I'm guessing that if you are playing games that are older than 8 years you should be safe.

I know you can do Minecraft and Half-Life 2. But you need to put it in developer mode and install Ubuntu first. Then it's a matter of installing WINE and finally trying Minecraft or Steam.

I've never run any games on my 2540p, which has an i5-560M, 8GB DRAM, and Intel graphics. However, if I had to guess, I'd say it might run Minecraft but not be a good choice to run it due to the lack of a sophisticated GPU.

In theory, you can, but I will take some work. You would need to switch it to running Linux, then recompile the Minecraft stuff to work on ARM instead of x86. That requires the source code, which I'm unsure is available.

It will play lowend games like mine craft , if you invest in a solid state hard drive it will play games way better

Hmm, my daughter is not able to play minecraft on my 6930p - the graphics card says it can't handle it. She does play sims 3 and Zoo Tycoon on it though.

You can try to play games on your Mini 7" Netbook. I had a hard time getting started with my mini netbook computer I was thinking of giving it away. What's minecraft?

Son and daughter plays world of warcraft and minecraft on them and have no problems with it. Son played modern warfare 3 and had no problems. Oldest change her video card because she's a geek and wanted a better card...:) you should have no problems and later on if you want to change the video card its easy to do.

Hi there, what I did is enter the item name and model number on Youtube and searched for "how to install" There' s plenty of links. Here's the one I used - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AZlvEBEjAA It's fairly easy but make sure to follow the instructions to the T or the controller could get fried. Hope this helped! Best of Luck-

Hi! I bought it for my 9 year old nephew for his birhday. He loves it. His older brother, 13, also a huge minecraft fan, thought it was cool too. Hope that helps. Happy holidays.

I honestly do not know. I've not attempted to play any video games on the system. It's a fairly decent machine, so I would suspect it would play it fine. Minecraft graphics don't seem that demanding, but I'm no expert.

Minecraft will run just fine. It does not require super powerful computer though

If either/both of these is available via Google Play, then yes. My son has Minecraft PE on his iPod Touch, which he got after getting this laptop - so we haven't tried a Google Play version. But you can't install games like you can on Windows.While this worked for what we wanted when we first got it (well over a year ago now), it's not as useful as we had hoped for.

you can but this will not run minecraft well. if you need help finding a better laptop, let me know. tomorrow they should have some good sales and you should be able to get a pretty good laptop at decent prices.
