I really like this collection of games. I have been using it on my Win 10 Machine for quite a while. I just got a new (refurbished) Win 11 machine. I have the software up and running.
Help: I would like to see my old scores and stats on my new computer.
How do I accomplish this???
I have Premium service on a couple of the programs I use all the time.

After I have done the following:
Delete Microsoft Solitaire and reinstall; Reset Microsoft Solitaire; Repair Microsoft SolitaireSystem restore; Install Mahjong (does not start);
Solitaire still does not start. Windows 11 and Microsoft Store are up to date.
Are there any further possibilities?

I uninstalled Premium Solitaire because it was not working properly with the intent to repurchase. It keeps telling me I already own the game. It is not in my apps.
