| 1405925 | 2015-08-06 00:19:00 | My Theory was Correct. If you have a Windows 10 install, even from fresh, and you download and run the Media Creation Tool to make a ISO it creates the hidden folder on the C Drive. Notice the date and times of the folder creation compared to current time. Which is 10.52am Heres Proof: 6648 great stuff. I guess when it was said the Win10 machine was clean installed and then automagically starting downloading Windows 10 onto itself, the bit about a user initiating the download was missed out |

| 1405926 | 2015-08-06 00:27:00 | weird how do the files for the Win10 you reserved in the previous OS download, when you wiped the HDD and clean installed? I have no idea. But after I upgraded from 8.1 (I mounted the Win10 ISO, and upgraded in Windows 8.1). I couldn't delete the windows.old folder, and it didn't appear in disk cleanup. So I could delete it I wiped C clean, while in Win 10's setup screen, then reinstalled Win10. With the flash drive using the ISO So, how could the folders come back again? They came back after I had installed and activated Win10 |

Anyone got some glue :p |

| 1405928 | 2015-08-06 00:41:00 | The app didnt appear again. After I had installed and activated Win 10. BUT the files for the upgrade (well the folders had the same names), were on C appeared after Oh well doesnt matter they've gone I already had the ISO thats how I installed/mounted the Win 10 ISO in the first place. No point getting it again if I've got it |

| 1405933 | 2015-08-06 04:55:00 | Hi Effie C, check this out www.howtogeek.com A fraction over half way down see "Restoring Desktop Solitaire, Minesweeper etc. Read on further and use Tito and woot32's patcher (copy it onto the USB with the Game programs). If you follow the instructions carefully you won't have any problems. I have done it and WIN10 picked them up when I upgraded. |

| 1405934 | 2015-08-06 09:48:00 | Hi Bryan, Thanks to Wainui T and trial and error searching I downloaded and installed exactly that-- Took a while to find out where it had downloaded to ( would not appear in designated folder headed "Downloads" ) but found it - don't ask me how-- I ain't clever or young enough to remember ;-( The sample appears but is a lot slower than W 7 freecell etc but acceptable The site and program you quote is exactly what I have ended up with Thanks anyway, I have enjoyed freecell since W 95 ;-) and is welcomed I sure as hell will NOT revert to W 7 now I have got somewhat used to the difference from W7 Effie c |
