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.

    One cannot post on the Microsoft forums how to hack Microsoft software, but anyone can use their favorite web browser to search for the ways to get the Microsoft Windows 7 games working on Windows 8 or Windows 10 and follow directions/read thru the fluff to find what *you* need to get them to work.

    I REALLY want my old games back!  I dislike being on line to play all my games AND I REALLY DISLIKE all the advertisements, they are distracting.  I play games to relax and having blinking advertisements on the screen is obnoxious!  I don't care that you have a ton of new options for games.  Give us the option to take advantage of your new offers OR use the old game package that we like.  Yeah, change is hard, but it doesn't have to be.

    In 2015, "average users" know how to use a search engine.

    Not so Jim whomever.  Average users would have no idea of how to find the original games nor the files required to reinstall them.

    Susan,

    I just went through the reversion process and it worked just fine.  The popup window that encourages you to install Windows 10 after you just uninstalled it and reverted to Windows 7 can be removed by pressing "Cancel reservation" and then restart your computer.  At least I think it works.  I only rebooted once, so we'll see.  But I have my 7 back...AND my GAMES!
