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.

    I am afraid that the old games are NOT just a download/install away now.  The latest Windows 10 update removes those old games and even if you run the install (Win7GamesForWin10-Setup.exe) to get them back they are disabled again after every restart.

    Note: A Windows Update such as the Anniversary Update may cause the games to not function. If that happens, remove the zip file and extracted files, reboot and reinstall it.

    so when I realized that MS ditched all my WIN7 games, I went to my laptop and copied all the WIN7 versions that I loved and pasted them to my WIN10 desktop.  I was very proud of myself.  Then I updated my laptop.  Yesterday there was an extensive MS10 update...and guess what....all my WIN7 games were erased.  Now I'm screwed cause I don't have a WIN7 system to get copies of the old games.  Bummer and shame on you Microsoft.

    Because as long as you continue to use Microsoft services, you've demonstrated that you will put up with being fleeced.  Say "Baaa" for the nice man, pennly.
