Home Premium to Business Upgrade Problems

I just upgraded (sort of; upgrade wasn't an option, I needed a "clean"
version of Windows) from Home Premium to Business (Vista). In doing this, I
lost all of my games. Is there anywhere I can get them back or is there
anyone that can give the files to me?

Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off. Games are
there. They are not installed by default in Business Edition.

In Vista Business the games are not installed by default. Just go to
add/remove Windows components and install the games.

Re: Home Premium to Business Upgrade Problems

In Business you don't get the games installed by default (keep those
business types working all day without Solitare!). You can install them by
going to the Control Panel | Programs | Turn Windows Features On or Off. You
should find the games in there and install them.
