Games Included with Windows 7

When people move from Windows 7 to Windows 10, a common question is Where did my games go? The Solitaire and other games included with Windows 7 are absent when you boot up your Windows 10 PC for the first time. And that’s a big disappointment for most.

Microsoft would rather you go into the Microsoft Store and download the Microsoft Solitaire & Casual Games Collection. It’s still free for everyone. But some people feel they’re just not the same as the old-school games. If you want the real Windows 7 Games, check out this link or that link.

If you use this, make sure to save the link or downloaded .exe file for future re-use. After major updates to Windows 10, many users report that these games have gone missing. It seems Microsoft really doesn’t want you using the games included with Windows 7 anymore, and they will remove them for you. But you are free to use the link or downloaded file anytime you want to reinstall them.
