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.

    Oh, and some of the Wild Tangent games I purchased for money are not working properly now either.  When I try to run them, all that happens is a large gray rectangular bar appears at the top of the screen and....nothing happens.  At all.  I can't even exit out of that cause the the x mark is obscured.  I am so sorry I "upgraded".  It's a downgrade for me.

    And didn't MS even think about the millions (yes, millions) of seniors who liked to play those games, Freecell, Solitaire, et al?  tsk tsk MS.

    And the text, for some reason, is so small I can't even read it.  I tried enlarging it, but it's either so big the screenshot won't even fit on the screen, or it's so small I may as well just go watch TV.

    Me too Susanmc.  Microsoft GREATLY underestimated that these games were one of the reasons users continued using Windows.  I'm so disappointed, I'm going to look at Macintosh stuff.  No more Windows for me.  They misled about the upgrade not changing things.  Enough is enough.

    Jenith,  this is more than crappy.  Microsoft 10 MISLEADS us to think that all of our old files will still be available on the upgrade.  I'm going to uninstall as I feel I've been lied to, or worse, Microsoft simply doesn't know how to do things right any more.  MS could have save itself a lot of ill will by letting us keep our games like Freecell and Solitaire.  The other post is right, the newer games are worse than ****.

    I was leery about upgrading  from 7 Pro but decided to give 10 a chance. Rather than just switching back, I'm shopping for a new computer and phone-both Apple. If I've got to learn a whole new computer system, I might as well go whole hog. I survived the switch from Amiga to Windows, so hopefully I can still learn a new operating system.  I was willing to put up with many things by switching, but the loss of Free Cell, Mahjong Titans, and Spider Solitaire were not among them.

    Make these games available! I do not play games on line. All of the apps for windows 10 required a computer to be on line. This is not what I want.
