Solitaire on Windows 10
OK so now I have Windows 10. I have regular old Solitaire on all my devices. I would like to get it on my computer. Not fancy Solitaire games like Klondike,Spider, Free cell. Just the old regular Solitaire game. Can I do that?

I will not be satisfied until Microsoft restores the old version of Solitaire to Windows 10.

Lots of people on the forums have the same problem as I do. Why doesn't Microsoft just FIX IT!

[Edited 2016-12-18: There's also Windows 7 games for Windows 10 downloadable from winaero.com, which I'm surprised is not marked as the solution or most helpful reply.]
In 2007, with the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft did away with the classic Klondike solitaire game that had been an indispensable part of Windows since 1993. They replaced it with a super-fancy rewrite in Vista and kept that one in 7, but they did away with even that version for 10, replacing it with the adware/trialware everyone* loves. (Edit: If memory serves, 8 and 8.1 didn't even have any games outside the Store app or in the default installation. [Edit again: Got a new 8 system, and nope, not a single game.])
Microsoft are trying real hard to brand "Xbox" as their all-devices gaming platform, including desktop and laptop PCs, and including trivial patience card games that haven't been associated with console gaming since Backgammon for the Atari 2600.
*Statistics indicating "everyone" are almost certainly inflated at best.
