When Microsoft released Windows 8 a lot of users were disappointed with the lack of traditional built-in games. Here’s how to get them back in Windows 10.
When Microsoft released Windows 8, a lot of users were disappointed with the lack of built-in games. The company did release a collection of modern Xbox card games based on the classic Microsoft Solitaire and Freecell. However, a lot of people weren’t impressed with the deep integration with Xbox and the online gameplay. The Microsoft Solitaire Collection stills exist in Windows 10, and it looks like this is the future of these popular leisure pleasures. I don’t like them either, and they seem to be buggy and can come across a bit confusing.
For users who yearn for the classic old school card games and others like Minesweeper, Mahjong Titans, and Purble Place, there is one unofficial third-party solution for you. The folks over at Winaero.com have hosted a link with a packaged setup file so you can reinstall your favorites.
Install Classic Windows 7 Games on Windows 10
Download Windows 7 Games for Windows 10, extract the zip file and launch Win7GamesForWin10-Setup.exe to start the install wizard.
Choose from the list of games you would like to install on your system.
After installation is complete, click Start and then navigate to All Apps > Games to find what you just installed.
Now you can resume your favorite past time just the way you like it.
By the way, we tested this out on the latest Windows 10 November Update, and it works on Windows 8, too.
Also, if you miss the classic Pinball game that was included in older versions of Windows, (I wasted a lot of time with it at work on Windows 2000) read our guide: How to Install Space Cadet Pinball on Windows 7, 8, and Windows 10.

Purble Place is a suite of three computer games. Developed by Oberon Games for Microsoft, it was introduced in Windows Vista and also is included in Windows 7.
History
Purble Place was publicly introduced in Windows Vista build 521 along with Chess Titans and Mahjong Titans.
Games in Purble Place
The collection has a single home screen that offers three packs of games: Purble Pairs, Comfy Cakes, and Purble Shop.
Purble Pairs is a pattern recognition and memory game similar to Pelmanism. The object is to clear the tableau in the fewest turns. As the skill level progresses, the game becomes timed, the grid size increases, and more similar pictures are used. The Beginner level has one 5x5 grid, Intermediate has two 6x6 grids, and Advanced has four 8x8 grids to solve per game. In addition to a joker that automatically finds another match of an exposed card, numerous special pairs are present in the higher levels: such as a card of the batter machine in Comfy Cakes that shuffles the board when paired, a clock that adds more time to the timer, and a Master Chef that automatically finds and matches pairs of cards containing cakes. A sneak peek coin bonus allows the player to expose all remaining cards for a couple of seconds, but every card exposed in this way is counted as a turn.
