If you switched to the new Windows 10 not from the previous system, but from Windows 7 or even from Vista, then you may be disappointed by the lack of a number of familiar functions and applications in the OS. One of these unpleasant moments was the games from the regular delivery of Windows.

The first thing you need to do is download the unofficial Windows 7 games archive to your computer. To do this, use the download link at the very bottom of this article.
The link leads to Yandex.Disk, where you should click on the "download" button, which is located on the panel on the right, immediately below the yellow "save to Yandex.Disk" button.

Once the archive is downloaded, locate it and extract the contents using the "extract all" command in the context menu:
For convenience, you can drag and drop a shortcut to any game directly to your desktop or pin it to the right side of the Windows 10 Start menu for quick access to it.
If such access is needed to all games at once, then send the “Games Explorer” shortcut to the right side of the menu or to the desktop. Behind it lies the familiar interface, which brings together the labels of all installed toys.
