Downloading solitaire

[Guest]

My widowed sister lost her computer to lightning and says her new computer doesn't have games. When I visit her in Florida tomorrow, I may find that she has them and doesn't know it. But, in case she doesn't, is it legal for me to copy my solitaire to her machine? If so, please tell me how to do it. Thanks.

Unless you're licensed by Microsoft to redistribute their programs, I
wouldn't, but she will already have it on her system. Just go into Control
Panel/Add or Remove Programs, click Add/Remove Windows Components in the
left panel and with Accessories... highlighted on the first screen, hit the
Details button. On the next screen, single-click Games and then click
Details again. You can add check marks in the boxes next to the names of
the games you wish to add back in, then OK your way out. The Microsoft
Games selection are native to the operating system.
