    Hello, I have a new pc running Win11 which doesn't have the old games I liked on Win7
    I have found some sites from which I can download Windows7 games for Windows11.
    A few I found are:
    thewindowsclub.com
    winaero.com
    makeuseof.com
    majorgeeks.com
    easeus.com
    itechtics.com
    ....................... and others.

    I downloaded it from Majorgeeks.com but it had a problem and could not install.

    Could you please advise which of the above or any others are a safe, reliable site to download from.
    Regards

    I too prefer the W7 games, particularly Spider Solitaire. I have successfully installed them on multiple W10 systems as well as my W11 laptop from winaero.com.

    Great. Glad you got it resolved and thanks for coming back and posting your followup.

    One more thought. You should expect that upon occasion, Microsoft will push out a major update that will overwrite the installation of those W7 games. No need for alarm. You will have to install them again. In each case (so far) once reinstalled, all my wins/losses statistics were still there. :)
