My old games- spider solitaire, freecell, and mohjong titans.

Hello,

I upgraded from 7 to 10 and now I am missing my games file that had the old games such as spider solitaire, freecell, and mohjong titans.  Is there anyway to get them back other than what is in the app store?

From what I saw on the app store there are around 138 versions of Mohjong Titans, some with low ratings, some with high ratings.  I tried a couple different ones and found them to be covered with advertisements.  I would also like to play without having to be online all the time.

I would appreciate a note of how to get my regular games back on- or on how I can send Microsoft a note of disappointment.

Thank you.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community and for your interest on windows 10.

    I can imagine the inconvenience that happened.

    May I know to which edition of Windows 10 did you upgrade?

    The built-in games that were in earlier versions of Windows 7 are not available in Windows 10. Instead, there are some free Microsoft produced games apps available from the Windows Store.

    The card games by Microsoft are called Microsoft Solitaire Collection. There is also Microsoft Mahjong, Microsoft Minesweeper, Microsoft Taptiles and others.

    Note that these are bit different to what you had previously.

    Microsoft has removed those earlier games from Windows 10 by design.

    Feel free to get back to us, if you have any queries further.

    Thanks and regards.

    We  "the users" have gotten used to the games MS provided in the older versions and like them!

    No adds!!! Better quality!!! Kept our stats!!!  Simple access!!!  So the reply by the tech to orig. post ;

    "Note that these are bit different to what you had previously.

    Microsoft has removed those earlier games from Windows 10 by design",  is unacceptable!!!

    By design -----PUT THEM BACK!!!
