An Introduction to the
Windows 8 Store

5. To compete with the other OS giants, Google
Android and Apple iOS, Microsoft introduced
some profound changes with the launch of
Windows 8.

6. The Windows 8 Store is one of its core
components of the Win8 OS.

7. Although designed largely with tablets
and smartphones in mind, it is a part
of every edition of the operating
system.

8. The Windows
Store is
analogous to
the Google Play
Store or the
Mac Apple
Store.

9. Desktop and laptop users
may also want to take a
look at the Windows Store.

10. It not only
provides new
Windows 8-style,
full-screen apps;
it also provides
desktop
applications
designed for the
new operating
system.

11. Products available
through the Windows
Store include both free
and paid apps.

12. There are
already tens of
thousands of
apps available
and they cover
a huge variety
of different
niches.

13. How to Use the
Windows Store

14. Although the Windows Store is designed
primarily for use on touchscreen devices,
it also works perfectly well with a
keyboard and mouse.

15. In the Windows 8 Start Screen, you will see a
green tile to the left directing you to the
Windows Store.

16. The system is extremely
simple to use.

18. To search for apps, simply start typing
a keyword and the list of apps will be
narrowed down in real-time.

19. Alternatively,
press the
Windows key
and “Q” to
bring up the
search panel.

20. To install a free app, all
you need to do is tap
or click on the tile
representing that app
and click “Install.”

21. To install a paid app, you need to click
“Buy” followed by “Confirm.”

22. You should only have to
enter your payment
details once.

23. If you purchased Windows 8
online as a digital download,
then your payment details
should already be in the
Windows Store.

24. It is a good idea
to keep your apps
up to date.

25. Many apps are
updated on a
regular basis.

27. To update all of your
apps in one hit, return to
the Windows Store and
click “Updates” in the
top-right corner.

28. Note that this link
won’t appear if there
are no updates
available.

29. To update all of your apps, click
“Select All” at the bottom of the page
and click “Install.”
