Find and install apps
When you want to install an app, the Windows Store is the place to go. Here’s how to find and install an app:
1. From the Start screen, tap or click Store.
2. Make sure you’re signed in with your Microsoft account (see previous section).
3. To find an app, do one of the following:
Drag your finger across the screen to browse apps. Tap on a category, such as Games, to see more
apps.
Type the name of the app you’re looking for. You’ll see results that match your search.
Swipe in from the right-edge of the screen, tap or click the Search charm, and then type the app
you’re looking for.
4. Tap or click an app to learn about it and read reviews.
5. Tap or click Buy, Try, or Install.
Install is available if an app is free or you’ve already bought it.
Try means a trial version of the app is available. You can try before you buy.
Buy means that the app isn’t free and the price is shown. Apps that you buy are charged to the
payment option associated with your Microsoft account. To add or change the payment option on
your account, see Add or change a payment option in this guide.
After an app is installed, a tile for the app appears on the Start screen.
Important You can only install apps from the Windows Store, not from other sources. You can’t install
Windows 7 programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, on Surface RT.
Notes
To get help with the Store app, open the Settings charm and then tap or click Help.
If you can’t find or install an app, see Why can’t I find or install an app from the Windows Store? on
