Windows 10 They took your games away

[muckshifter]

Upgrade Win 7 Premium to Win 10 and you'll find Microsoft have taken away the 'free' bundled Solitaire etc ... and if you want them back, be prepared to be bombarded with advertising, or, PAY to get rid of the ads ... MS, go for a long walk off a short pier.

I have no idea if this works as I dont care for the Win 10 'games' but this might be a shot.

Just a simple hosts file addition.

Edit even better use this as your hosts file:

"Microsoft Solitaire has been free to play for the past 25 years on Windows, and continues to be free to play on Windows 10. Users can access and play everything within the game for free, including new premium features like Daily Challenges and Star Club. The Microsoft Solitaire Collection game experience and Premium Upgrade features such as Double Coins for Daily Challenges, and removal of advertisements, is identical to the Windows 8 version that has been available for purchase for years."

I don't care to 'play' Windows games either, but hey! Solitaire is a tradition. To take it away from your existing system, and call it an upgrade, is, is, abysmal!!

All the traditional bundled FREE games are gone!


My sister ain't gonna be too pleased.

"Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine."
