Using the Store

You can purchase apps or get free apps from Windows Store.

Tip:

If a desktop app with the same function is installed, make sure to remove the existing desktop app before installing the new one.

If a local account is being used, a window to switch to a Microsoft account appears while using Windows Store. Follow the instructions on the screen to switch the local account to a Microsoft account.

You can also do so by selecting [Start menu] > [Account] > [Change Account Settings].

If you switch to a Microsoft account, your PC settings (background, user settings, etc.) may be changed to the previous settings.

  1. Press the [] button to move to the Start menu and select the [Microsoft Store] tile.

    Tip:

    Press the [] key or [Ctrl] + [Esc] to display the Start menu.

  2. Select the app or use the search function on the store screen to install the desired app.
