Like I said, you'll need to do that before you upgrade.

Do we have to create a Microsoft Store account? We balked at that before, when trying to locate her Solitaire games which are no longer in Win8! Still, if we have to create an account for the Win10 upgrade, then I'll get the Solitaire games while I'm there.

Nope. I haven't.
And yes, MS removed the games that were there in Win7. The whole purpose of the games back when was to teach basic skills like use of a GUI and mouse. Win10 is firmly oriented at the Enterprise market, and Enterprises tend to be fussy about what's on employee PCs.
But the ones in the Store are either payware or ad supported. I found a package that someone had created where they grabbed the games off a Win7 system, patched them to remove the version check that prevented them from running on a later version, and packaged them as an installer from which you could pick and choose what you wanted. Works fine here. See
