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.

    This is what I am upset about.  The scores I lost and how long it took me to get there, although, I was no where near your achievements.

    I want the old games back because of my personal scores I was keeping track of.  Were my scores deleted when I upgraded to Windows 10?
