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 don't want new games! I had scores & points I was tracking on 8.1 When you have 700,000 plus points on jigsaw, and have won 60, 000 plus consecutive free cell games it is really disgusting to have it all wiped out! So far I haven't seen much to cheer about windows 10!

    I don't want new freecell.  I want the version I was playing - just under 11,000 games played with a 99% win stat.  I was less than 1000 games from breaking my old streak.
