One of the main novelties of Windows 8 and Windows 10 is the presence of an application store very similar to that of an iPhone or Google Play of Android. The Windows 10 Store is a Start screen application from which you can download and install apps or update existing ones.
What is important to know is that the Store applications are similar to normal desktop programs, but they work within the system, therefore faster.
The Windows 10 Store is a feature that should generate a lot of interest for all new users, especially since there are now so many applications to install. As is the case for the Apple and Android stores, also in Windows 10 you will find free and other paid applications.
To access the Windows 10 Store, you can click on the relevant Start menu button or on the taskbar. The important thing to know is that you can open the Microsoft Store to download and install applications only if you log in with a Microsoft account on your PC.
Using the app of the store in Windows 10 you are free to scroll the screen, using the scroll bar at the bottom or with the mouse wheel, left or right by browsing the titles of the available apps. The applications are organized into categories and to view the entire catalog of one of them you can click on the category title. To see the best free apps available, click on the "Top Free" button for a specific category. Among the categories there is also that of games . To download an application and bring it to your computer, you must press the Install button. You are then asked on which disk to install it.
By pressing the button with three dots at the top right you can go to the Store Settings to activate automatic application updates and some other options such as that to authorize purchases only with a password.
Always from the menu with three dots, you can access the list of installed apps and to check if there are updates to be installed.
To search for applications on Windows 10, the fastest way is via the Windows-Q key combination. You can use filters on the results page to filter them by category and price and sort them by relevance, date, classification or price. Not all apps are visible on the home screen which you can obviously customize to choose which ones to highlight.
To find all the installed applications you can use the usual search menu or go to the Store and click " My Apps ". If you use another computer always with Windows 10, you can scroll through the personal Apps to install them in other PCs without having to search for them a second time.
By right clicking on the icon of an installed app, you can uninstall it.
There is also an online version of the Microsoft Store available on the internet, accessible on this site, where the applications are listed according to their popularity or according to other filters that can be set on the left side.
