Get Old MS Paint On Windows 10
In the new Windows 10 Build 14971, Microsoft has decided to remove the old MS Paint to incorporate the new Paint 3D app. Officially, there hasn’t been given any reason to anyone for discarding the old one. Likely, the reason seemed for removing the app was only to discard the old one.
All the Win32 applications are slowly being discarded for the new UWP apps. First the Calculator, then the Live Essentials and now the Paint app. From now, you can expect a lot of the traditional apps pre-installed on Windows to be replaced by their newer and sometimes better counterparts.
All the keyboard and mouse users may feel uncomfortable without the old version of MS Paint on their systems. Because they load faster and allowed the user to quickly paste, crop and save an image.
The last update to the Windows Paint was in Windows 7. In that, we got the ribbon interface and addition of nice brushes to draw. The new Paint 3D has many features like support for 3D printing, layers, and transparency.
To own the classic MS Paint in your systems, follow the below steps :
Uninstall Paint 3D Preview

Step 2 : Right click on Paint 3D Preview application and select Uninstall.
Step 3 : Again, select Uninstall on the small pop up to remove the app and its respective data.
