Well, actually I haven't played those in ages, but wouldn't they work in
a Win 7 Compatibility mode?

All you have to do is reinstall them and they work fine, they are all
available on the Winaero Tweaker site.

Compatibility Mode isn't necessary. They work just fine in native
Windows 10.

waited a day, and so I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and
install it, rather than postpone it some more. It's goes bad, then
you probably won't see me for hours. If it goes well, I've probably
already gone to sleep, since it's after midnight here. LOL! Wish me
luck.

You're supposed to set a good example, by having a
backup, before pressing the button :-)

Don't worry, I did back it up, that's what I was waiting for to
complete.

So I'm back, and so is my computer, and as usual, the update knocked
out the Windows 7 style gadgets. The previous update 1909, was one of
the few that left the gadgets alone, but now 2004 killed them again. So
I'm going to have to reinstall them again! I'll see if anything else
was borked.

Your Win7 Solitaire games will be borked also, if you have them
installed.

Are those the same that I installed on Win 8.1 that were tweaked to run
and skip the Win 7 check??
I have them archived. I haven't thought about them in a long time but
would like to put them back in.

If there is a 2nd set for Win 10, can you post a link?

Here is a link to where I get the latest "fixed" version of the games
after W10 major updates randomly try and kill them.

Yes, I believe that's the program I used.
I use Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, FreeCell, Hearts, and Mahjong. I found
that once they're installed, copy the executable for each and Mahjong.dll to
a safe folder, then when another update/upgrade occurs that wipes them out,
all you have to do is copy each of the files back to their folders (the
update doesn't wipe the folder structure out; just the executables). Games
work fine again :-) I didn't even lose my records- I'm up to $17,000 in
Solitaire. Waiting to hit $20K before cashing out, LOL!

Is it because you are mentally disturbed ?

Hi Michael,

Please simply answer this set of related questions so we all benefit:
1. What do you feel is the difference between an upgrade & an update?
2. Given your definition, what do you term these two conversions:
a) Win10S to Win10 Home
b) Win10 Home 1909 to Win10 Home 2004
3. What does Microsoft term those two conversions?
a) Win10S to Win10 Home
b) Win10 Home 1909 to Win10 Home 2004
