The games were not "bought and paid for" in the sense that you own them. What you bought and paid for was a license to use the operating system in accordance with the licensing agreement, so MS does indeed have a right to take them away.
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.

2015-10-08T17:10:52+00:00 In many cases, especially Minesweeper, I don't even like the Windows 7 versions and would like to be allowed to reinstall versions from Windows 98 or even earlier. Windows 7 Minesweeper (and to a lesser extent Solitaire and the rest) added so much useless "flash" and animation that I can no longer play it decently fast -- and it also deleted the high score list.
And after all, I had these games, bought and paid for, before upgrading, so you had no right to take them away!!!

The end results might look like this:
