It's Now Time To Say Goodbye To Microsoft's Windows PC Card Games

Do you still remember the old ‘Hearts’ game on your Windows PC, along with Checkers, MSN Go, Backgammon, and Reverse?

These games were all available on the Internet, so it was very convenient for you to play online with others. However, these games have all been shut down.

For a long time, Microsoft has been encouraging users to upgrade their old versions of Windows OS to the newer one. To achieve this goal, Microsoft has decided to remove the small add-ons which bring about the fun for people using the old platforms.

Through an announcement on its blog, Microsoft has declared that computers with older Windows OS or Windows 7 will have to say goodbye to some of these Internet games. The official date of these games being deleted is dependent on the version of Windows OS you are using. However, if these games have never been on your favorite gaming list, you will feel just fine with their disappearance.

Starting from July 31st, users with Windows ME and Windows XP will be the very first ones who no longer have access to these old games. In the meantime, users with Windows 7 will be able to keep their access until January 22nd, 2020, only a week after the OS' official support ends.

You can easily find these games’ different versions somewhere on the Internet. But Microsoft would really appreciate it if you could just upgrade your PC to Windows 10 instead.

Indeed, as Windows ME and Windows XP no longer received attention in a long time, it comes as a surprise to see Microsoft still keeps these games alive. If you concern about the disappearance of Solitaire, don’t be nervous as the game will be a component of Windows 10 and even the newer Windows. Either way, though, you should now say goodbye to your software nostalgia.
