Who doesn’t like to play games? Remember when Windows used to come with some of the most amazing games we could play at work to pass our time?
Windows 7 had many interesting games, my favorite was Solitaire and Mahjong Titans and many others. One of the biggest disappointment when I upgraded to Windows 8, was that there were no games on it by default. How would I have spent my time when my internet was down or I was bored. When Microsoft released the Windows 8.1 update I was again hoping for some games and I got none. Windows 10 brought the same amount of disappointment but you could get Solitaire on Windows 10 at a price by paying Microsoft. This is really bad and a lot of people were angry because of this.
Thanks to the guys at MDL Forums, they compiled a setup of all games from Windows 7 and they brought it on Windows 10 in a simple setup. Using the setup you will be able to run games like Solitaire, Minesweeper, FreeCell, Hearts, Chess Titans, Mahjong Titans etc on your Windows 10 PC.
