Windows Server 2008 R2?

I just installed Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) that I got from Microsoft Dreamspark. I got the Aero themes from Windows 7 to make it look like Windows 7, but I want to be able to play the Windows 7 games such as Chess Titans, Solitaire, Mahjong, etc. Is there a way to make this work or would I have to rip the games from my Windows Vista Ultimate that I'm dual-booting this with? Thanks in advance!
My reason being is because I want to use the server for both purposes, as a client and a server. The server part is for me to learn how to run through a domain to host a user account and connect to it from a remote computer i.e. the domain website.org with a username of website and a password of password, something like that. For both functionalities that would make it the ultimate OS for me.

Sorry, I know it is not the answer you are looking for but why convert a server into a client? It is really pointless.

Ok, makes sense I guess.

I don't have the media on hand but did you check to see if they are listed in Windows components and not installed by default?

Other thing, most of the games are pretty trivial and you may be able to just copy the exe over to your server from a client installation.

You may need to look at a tool like Depends.exe to see what libraries they rely on that may not be in the server.
