Standard windows games (spider solitaire, kerchief) - where are they located?

The moment of my long-awaited transition to Windows 8 (in principle, to Windows 8.1 too) coincided with the date of the official distribution of this OS. I eagerly began to study all the nuances and secrets of the updated product, because there was enough visual material for studying. Gradually, having dealt with the software of the new system, more attention began to be paid to a slightly modified appearance of the digital product. At first, the not quite familiar new look of Start was striking, but in general terms, the operating system was quite satisfied. It has an order of magnitude more meaningful convenience than previous versions. But, somehow, I more clearly remember the sharpness of my indignation at the fact that Microsoft developers did not consider it necessary to introduce standard games from Vista and Seven OS into the new product. Very strange, because these toys were a kind of symbol of Windows systems. Who among us has not played spider solitaire during an educational lecture or work? Who hasn't played the exciting Minesweeper that was a hit back in the days of XP. Some even held symbolic sapper championships. It is easy to assume that the games could not be gone forever, they are and can be seen in an updated UI-guise on the Store pages under specific names:

  • Microsoft Minesweeper (Sapper);
  • Microsoft Mahjong (Mahjong);
  • Microsoft Solitaire Collection (Solitaires: solitaire kerchief, spider, solitaire).
Access to them will open immediately after entering the word Microsoft in the search engine.


But, to be frank, not everyone likes the innovative UI interface of the eighth series of Windows. It's good that there were responsible people who did all the work (layout and assembly) to prepare the transition of classic games from 7 to operating systems Windows 8 and 8.1 as well as Windows 10. In addition, the latest version of the assembly can automatically determine the bit depth of your OS, which means that you only need to. Everything is very simple and accessible.


After the installation is completed, a separate category will appear in the list of programs with all the familiar, standard set of games from Microsoft. Actually everything, the installation was successful, you can sit in a comfortable chair and start the wonderful process of the game.
