The Microsoft Store is one of the most important apps to install for Windows 11 users. It’s a place where you can purchase apps, games, and other content for your computer.

With the launch of Windows 11, the programs too came with a refreshed UI to match the OS design, and Microsoft Store was not left behind.

Its main purpose is to provide a unified experience for finding and downloading software and apps. You can browse through categories such as games, music, movies, TV shows, and so on.

The newly revamped store has more to offer compared to the Windows 10 version. One of the most notable differences between the two stores is their design.

Secondly, there are more apps and games and not just the UWP apps are available but also apps from third-party app stores. You can get the full in-depth look at the new Microsoft Store in our dedicated article.
