Thank you. I'll search the forum for those games.

Thank you. That worked. I was referring to the Windows 8 version of Spider solitaire which has something to do with Xbox!

When I start a game, e.g. spider solitaire, it comes up on my left monitor. How can I have the old desktop on the left monitor and something from metro on the right monitor?

If I am reading the upgrade assistant info correctly, I would have to track down all my installation disks for apps even if they are compatible. I never got around to putting windows 7 on a PC with VISTA, but I did buy it. Would it be worthwhile to upgrade to Windows 7 and then upgrade to...
