Windows 7 came with some fantastic card and board games. Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Minesweeper, Purble Place, Mahjong Titans, Internet Checkers, Internet Backgammon, and Internet Spades are some of the classic games shipped with Windows 7.

Sadly, Windows 10 does not come with these games by default. Microsoft has dropped these games from Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
