Is Spider Solitaire included in Windows 7? I can't find it.

I want to play Spider Solitaire and can't find it in Windows 7.  Is it there?  If so, how do I find it?  When I go to games I don't see it.

Hi onemulligan,,

Which edition of Windows 7 are you working on?

Spider Solitaire is included in all the versions of Windows 7. As such it should appear in Games Folder.

However, if you don’t see the game title, it could be for one of these reasons:

·         It's an older game. New games automatically show up in the Games folder when you install them. Older titles might not. To add the game manually, see

·         Games are turned off. By default, the games that come with Windows are turned off, in some editions. To turn them back on:

·         Click the Start button,  click Control Panel, click Programs, and then under Programs and Features, click Turn Windows****features on or off.

·         Select the Games check box, and then click OK.

I followed ShinmilaH's advice.  It worked.  My new (1/2016) HP computer (with Windows 7) came with the games turned off.  

I had ordered this HP computer  from Cosco just to get an HP computer with Windows 7.  All I could get otherwise was Windows 10, which I did not want.  This one came directly from China!  I love Windows 7.  It is the best operating system Microsoft ever made for use with computers!!!  10 may be fine with many different devices, but 7 is best for computers.  Remember something which is good for everything may be perfect for none of them!!!!!   Windows 7 is perfect for computers.
