WORKS ON WINDOWS 10
--
Pretty Good Solitaire works in Windows 10, the new version of Windows out this week. If you are thinking of upgrading to Windows 10 or have already upgraded, there are instructions on how to install the game and copy your old data folder to the new Windows 10 at http://blog.goodsol.com/2015/07/works-in-windows-10-pretty-good-solitaire.html
If you upgrade from a previous version of Windows, your statistics may just come over, but you might want to back them up first. You will probably need to reinstall the game from the original setup installation file regardless. That can be downloaded from http://www.goodsol.com/download.html .
There is a very quick way to find the game's data folder in Windows 10. Just type %appdata% in the "Search the web and Windows" box in the taskbar and it will take you right to it.
If you have any problems installing Pretty Good Solitaire or any of our other games on Windows 10, you can contact me at [email protected] for help.
Also, the Windows solitaire game is back in Windows 10, but there's a catch - it has ads in it and Microsoft is charging a monthly fee to remove the ads. Of course we don't have monthly fees with our games. See more about this at http://blog.goodsol.com/2015/07/microsoft-will-charge-to-remove-ads-from-solitaire-in-windows-10.html
