Try the one here:
I'm sure that one will work. In OpsMgr, you can install MPs either by downloading it manually (like from the link above) or using the online catalog, from the Administration pane, right click anywhere in the left pane, select Import Management Pack, click Add and select Add from catalog. You can then search using keywords like "Windows 7" and then add them to be downloaded and installed.
Thanks

Hi
Be Aware of the fact that there are different modes of client Monitoring. There is collective Client Monitoring where you deploy an Agent to the Client and basically you just start collecting data without getting alerts. The other Kind of Client Monitoring is called Business Critical Client Monitoring .In this case you just do the same as for collective Client Monitoring, but you add also the Clients into the Business Critical Client Monitoring Group. This way you will also receive alerts. Check the MP guide on this MP for Details. I just wanted to deliver some more info.
Btw. Windows 8 MP has been realeased recently http://systemcenter.pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/applications/System-Center-Management-Pack-for-Windows-8-Client-Operating-System-12884957820 I know you did not ask for, but still good to know.
