want spider solitaire on win 8 desktop

I have a new laptop that has windows 8.1 installed.
However, I am use to Windows 7 (hate Win 8)
I enjoy spider solitaire. I play it while waiting for a download or while something else I am doing is finishing.
I downloaded solitaire, but whenever you want to play, it leaves the desktop and goes to the windows game screen.
I want the old spider solitaire, like the one that comes with Windows 7.
I want to be able to play the spider solitaire at the same time I am doing something else.
Can anyone tell me how this is possible/
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you

Here's a quick vid on multitasking with 'Metro' apps:

Oh, btw... a hearty welcome to Windows EightForums!

PM Jimbo45 and he can likely fix you up. He has posted links to those old games all ported over for setup on Windows 8 in few threads here. Do a forum search for "Microsoft Games" or "Microsoft Software Collection" and you can likely find what you want.

Win 7 Games to Win 8

If you have a DVD with Windows 7 you can follow the instructions in post #3 to import games into Windows 8. This is how I did it when 8 first came out.
