I can't find the standard Microsoft Games (ie: Solitaire, Freecell) that come pre-installed in every other Microsoft Windows based computer that I own. I even looked under "Turn Windows Settings on/off" under "Programs. What's the deal?

Just like Naman R and Mike Hall said, you can get them from the Windows Store. Solitaire and Freecell are bundled together in the Microsoft Solitaire Collection and they are better looking versions of the same games you loved on previous versions of Windows.

In fact, there are 5 different Solitaire variations – Klondike, FreeCell, Spider, TriPeaks, and Pyramid.

    A nice version of FreeCell (a free version, ha ha) is at kardland.com. It looks like it is kind of new.

    I had to reinstall my apps after I upgraded to Windows 10 so you may need to do the same.

    I have no idea what treebark is talking about...

    MICROSOFT CHARGED YOU WHEN YOU BOUGHT YOUR WINDOWS 7 OR 8. THEY HAVE TOLD US WE CAN ADD WINDOWS 10 IS FREE. NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE US A SECOND TIME FOR WHAT WE ALREADY BOUGHT WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR WINDOWS 7 OR 8. FREE IS FREE. TAKING AWAY WHAT WE ALREADY PAID FOR AS A MICROSOFT CHARGE WHEN WE GET WINDOWS 10 DOES NOT MAKE IT FREE.

    YOU JUST GOT SKREWED LIKE MANY OTHERS DUE TO ERRORS OF OMISSION BY NOT TELLING US AHEAD OF TIME.
