To find out which version of windows installed - Click onto windows icon on tool bar, look for the 'cogwheel' then click on before selecting 'update and security.
Below windows update check look for OS Build Info, there is all the Windows information.

I have not updated to Windows 10. I have a newish computer and it came installed. It was an update from Windows that has messed things up.

It was the old windows games we had, my daughter put them on for us, and they played very well. When I told daughter what had happened she said "Oh that's Windows 10 for you!" Thank yo for the link I will have a go.

ok here we go again....another update and all the games gone. Only when I click on the link given by Andrew I just get a page telling me to update my 16 drivers and asking me to register why do they need updating when windows has supposedly done this and upset my whole system. I cannot download these drivers it just freezes my screen.
For goodness sakes I just want the original card games, that were free.

Ok Sorted it. I went into my downloaded files and it was sitting there so just opened up the file and away I went

The games are still there, but not as prominent. After all, they don't make much cash from them.

If you follow their link under "1. Get the ZIP archive", that takes you to a page mostly filled with ads.

It does, however, have a line saying "Download link: Click here to download the file". That's the one you need.
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.
