You open the Windows Store by clicking the Store icon on the Start screen. It is arranged into app categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Books & Reference. There are also quick links for the most popular and highest-rated apps .
You can find out more information on an app by clicking it. Here you will see the main information about the app in a panel on the left, and on the right, links to view the app’s Overview, Details, and Reviews.
On the bottom under the screenshot images for the app, you will see a section called “This app has permission to use,” where the Store will tell what personal information on your computer, if any, the app will want access to. Why is this important? Your personal information is of great economic value to companies. They want to know more about you so that they can directly target advertising at you and they may sell the information they hold about you to other companies.

If you allow an app access to information such as your email or Face‐ book account, you are potentially giving it huge volumes of very private information about you that you would otherwise not share. Always be careful in choosing apps, and do not install any that request access to information they should not ordinarily need.
Below this is an age rating for the app. This can be especially useful if you have young children who use your computer to play games.
You can install an app by clicking/touching the Install button, though you will have to register a credit or debit card with the Store to buy any apps that are not free.
At all stages while browsing apps, a back button will appear in the top left corner of your screen so you can return to the Store main page. You can also return to the main store page by clicking/touching Home from the App Bar.
Note : You can often find extra options and controls in an app by opening the Charms menu and clicking/ tapping the Settings icon. If available in that app, extra options will appear in the top right of your screen.
