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.

    I think the question is, do we have to go to windows store every time we want to play regular solitaire like was on windows 7? When I go to the windows store it tells me it is already installed, but how do I just go straight to the solitaire if it is already installed? How do I pin it to my task bar so I can pop it up whenever I want?

    Yes, but this version sucks, it covers the whole screen so I can't do anything else with the window open.
