- On the Start screen, click the Store tile.

- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the purchase of a fee based app, or to finish the installation of a trial version or free app.
- Once the installation is complete, press the Windows Logo key to switch back to Start screen where the newly installed application tile will be displayed.
