Professional is set up for businesses thus games aren't automatically installed. Go to computer (at the top) uninstall or change a program then its add/remove windows components add the check mark beside games.
I doubt you will have starter on an XPS... The add/remove components should be on the left (not on the list of programs you have to the right). On XP just now so can't give you a screenshot.

What laptop, what OS? If 7, games are in the Games folder on the start menu.

Basic windows games should appear.

Windows 7 starter probably does not have games.
