Back in the day when Windows 8 was released, Microsoft removed all the built-in games that users enjoyed a lot in Windows 7.

However, people were not much impressed with these. Fortunately, an unofficial collection of old-school games from Windows 7 still exists and you can download and install Windows 7 games on Windows 11. These classic games include Solitaire, Hearts, Chess Titans, Free Cell, Minesweeper, Mahjong Titans, etc.
