Slimfern I just checked and Office is still on my pc after I upgraded to W10. Its in the Downloads folder - have you checked there? [ Sorry if that's a stupid answer and you already have ].

I don't have it as a download Roger, it came with my computer along with windows 7
Have also found that all the cd's I have uploaded to my pc..I now can't play unless I download an app & have to be online to play them .....surely that can't be right.....
and also! silly as it may seem....spider solitaire only has spades...have lost hearts diamonds & clubs......what's that all about?

 

Well, I think I can at least solve your Spider Solitaire problem:

Have a look at your game settings and change the skill level. "Beginner" level is played with just one suit (spades).

Got all excited then.....but mine doesn't give the option anymore..unless I am just not seeing it

Well so much for that!
I just happened to need my DVD drawer and discovered Windows 10 did not recognise it. I wasted yesterday afternoon trying all sorts of recommended stuff and eventually decided to roll back to seven.
After a few other operations I had repeatedly the blue screen of death. I tried everything.
Thus I had to load up my spare, and newer PC. So far so good but I was unable to load all my music into iTunes.
I'll have a go tomorrow. So glad I backed up photos and music though. Tomorrow I'll nip to Maplins and get a new motherboard and hard disc. Time to rebuild a new spare!
As Mrs Jer has stuck with XP I shall stick with 7!

Yes, I shall stick with 7 for a while yet. I will however install a copy of Windows 10 on my iMac using bootcamp, just to play with it a bit.

 

Hope you get everything sorted GJ, can be a pain. Well done on backing up, I know too many who don't and regret it.

I'm definitely going to stick with W7. It should see me out.

I have only just managed to load up my iTunes library (including my own personal stuff as well as official downloads)
The most annoying thing was finding little support after W10 messed up my PC. I've had to spend the best part of 14 hours loading up my spare and will now have to spend a lot of sponds on new components.
