For folks who’ve been at the Windows game for a while, it’s surprising what can cause nostalgia amidst that crew. In my case moving from Windows 7 to 8 and beyond meant leaving the old games folder behind. It also meant giving up some favorite time-wasters that included FreeCell, Hearts, Solitaire, and so forth. But thanks to my friend and colleague Sergey Tkachenko and his WinAero.com website, that need not be the case. You, too, can grab this free Win7 games download for yourself. In fact, here’s a screen capture from my very own Win10 menus (themselves courtesy of Start10):

I didn’t elect to install them all, but you can if you want to. This list shows my personal faves.

Where to Get the Free Win7 Games Download?

Consider this a holiday gift of information, if not also of the fun and diversion you can get from installing and playing these old warhorses. Download them from WinAero.com, then unpack the ZIP file into a folder of your choosing. After that, run the exe file and you’ll be able to pick which items you wish to install (the default, as shown, is to pick ’em all):

By default, installer picks everything, but you can uncheck your unfaves.

Give yourself a small treat for the holidays this year. If you don’t already have these games installed on your Win10 PC(s), that’s quick and easy to fix. Enjoy!
