I really miss my old solitaire games package with Windows 7. [View all]
Now that we've been kicked onto Windows 10 apparently the only way to play games like solitaire, mahjong, minesweeper, etc., is to get an account somewhere and 'download the app' onto your machine and then 'sign in' to your account when you want to play.
There do seem to be a few browser-based games that can be played offline or without an account somewhere, but what I'm looking for are the old-fashioned, click the program name and have the game open and play it whether you have your Wi-fi enabled or not. Or your ethernet cable plugged in or not.
Sometimes in the middle of a complex, detail-oriented task, my brain seizes up and I just need to set the timer and open a game and let the brain detox on mechanical clicking for 10-15 minutes.
Usually when I'm working offline, which I do fair to middling often when I have those complex, detail-oriented tasks piling up. I douse the Internet so I won't be tempted to check email, and no "notifications" will distract me.
I suppose I could buy a dedicated solitaire-playing device, but I actually miss the old Win7 solitaire suite.
Does anyone know of a way to replace it?
sadly,
