I got Win 7 working versions of the old games when I upgraded to Win 7 - just like the old XP versions but compatible with Win 7.

I had some issues when it went to Win 8, but again got Win 8 updated versions of the same games from the same place, and they worked under Win 8.

I had some issues again when it went to Win 10 initially. But went to work and got them all working again.

Then after the new build installed last night none of them would work AT ALL (not even start to execute) and none of tricks worked. Nothing they tell you to do to get them to work again worked. Even reinstalled them just as I had when I got them to run under Win 10 the first time. NOTHING worked.

So I rolled back the Win 10 system to the system build & updates prior to the new build update last night. And now everything is O.K.

Likely I won’t run another Win 10 update.

Each time I have to go through the work to uninstall Cortana and MS “One Drive”, and that was bad enough.

“Likely I won’t run another Win 10 update.”

Do you have a choice? I’ve heard, and believe, that it’s done whether you want it or not. I have Win 10 and despise it with the heat of a thousand burning suns.

DH wants me to buy a nice piece of jewelry for my birthday this month. I don’t need no stinkin’ jewelry. I want something useful and am looking at HP and Dell, both of which sell new Windows 7 computers.
