If not, here are instructions on how to turn it on.

Open Control Panel and select "Remove program installation"

Now select "Turn Windows features on or off" on the left

A new window will open where a list of functions should appear. You will have to wait 20-30 seconds for it to load.

Then scroll through the list and find the "Telnet Client" option at the end, uncheck it, and press "OK".

Note: Below is the "Telnet server" option, DO NOT turn it on.

Now you wait a while for the System to save the settings. When it's all over, open CMD again and type in Telnet. If it says "Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Client" then you have done everything successfully.
