I’ll talk a bit more about it in a moment, but yes, there is a version of Minesweeper included with Windows 10, known as “Microsoft Minesweeper” now and a bit spruced up for the modern OS. Your goal is to identify and flag all the bombs or click and reveal every non-bomb square without a mishap.

If you’ve never played, it’s a “find the hidden items” puzzle where you click on squares in a grid to reveal what’s in the square (if it’s a bomb, oops!) and what’s adjacent. The game itself is pretty simple, however, so it turns out that the play – and strategy – hasn’t changed in all those decades. Those were the early days of Microsoft Windows, no question. In fact, it was first officially released as part of the “Microsoft Entertainment Pack” way back in 1990, and first included in the standard install of Windows 3.1 back in 1992. If you sign in with a Microsoft account, your progress is stored in the cloud so you can play the game on any device without missing a beat.Though I suspect more people play Solitaire on their PC, Minesweeper has been a part of the Windows experience almost since the very beginning of the first OS release.
