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?

    Glad it was of us. As far as I know somebody pulled all the files etc off of Windows 7 and made an installer. It's not an official Microsoft installer but it works and gets you all the classic games back. I have yet to hear anything bad about it. I've used it on all my Windows 10 PC's here at home.

    When I did the November Fall "updates," the Old Windows games were uninstalled from my computer.  There was a new Games folder and, of course, new games in it's place, not Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, etc.  I had to copy the folders again and run the .reg file to reinstall.

    This looks like a completely different way to get the games, with the .msi.  I found a method where you copy 3 folders to (C:), a Windows, Program Files & ProgramData folders.  Then you run Games_x32.reg, x64 for 64 bit.  That installs the games.  I can't find the webpage that offered the hack. 

    After the Fall "updates," I found some strange tiles in the start menu.  The Hry folder and the tile in the Most Used category in the second image and the cs-CZ folder in File Explorer.  The tiles disappeared on their own after several restarts.  I've never had another language installed, other than English.

    I don't have that cs-CZ folder. I only have the en-US folder. Clean install of 10586 and then new install of Microsoft Games.

    Thanks, Kerry for posting this.  I was able to search msgames_win8_x64.msi and download all the games, which INCLUDES Solitaire.  I think the point MS seems to be missing is this:  There are many things on a computer that many of us consider personal and should not be tampered with.  It is tantamount to theft! 

    When you hire someone to paint the rooms in your house, you do expect to come home and enjoy the fresh new look, but you also have every right to expect the painters not to throw two or three of your favorite paintings in the garbage!

    Your analogy fails because you don't own the operating system.  If you were renting an apartment and if the landlord painted it and removed pictures from the wall that belonged to him, all in accordance with the terms of the lease you signed,  you couldn't very well consider it "tantamount to theft."  You have a license to use the OS in accordance with the terms of the EULA.
