Windows 环境^{(Windows environment)}每天都在发展，Microsoft Store^{(Microsoft Store)}也是如此。您可以从中购买游戏、应用程序、电影、游戏通行证和订阅、Windows主题、字体，甚至游戏机或笔记本电脑等设备。您^(Did)是否知道您的购买会在您的所有Windows设备上同步，包括您的 PC、平板电脑，甚至是您的Xbox 控制台^{(Xbox console)}？从Microsoft Store购买商品后，您可以从所有设备上访问它，只要您在所有设备上使用相同的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}即可。帮助你开始使用Microsoft Store，您可以在Windows 11和 Windows 10 中使用它执行以下十一项操作：

注意：^{(NOTE: )}本文适用于Windows 10和Windows 11。如果您不知道您的设备上安装的是什么版本的Windows，请阅读本教程：如何分辨我拥有的Windows。

入门

要访问内容，您必须先打开Microsoft Store。一种方法是单击或点击其任务栏快捷方式^{(taskbar shortcut)}。然后，检查您是否已登录Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}。最快的判断方法是查看应用程序窗口^{(app window)}的右上角。在那里，您应该看到一个看起来像肖像（或您的肖像）的图标。点击^(Click)它。出现的下拉列表应类似于下面屏幕截图中的下拉列表。

检查您是否已在Microsoft Store^{(Microsoft Store)}中登录您的帐户

相反，如果您看到“登录”^{(Sign in)}选项，则表示您未登录。您可以单击或点击它以继续登录过程，或者在没有帐户的情况下继续使用该应用程序。

如果您看到此选项，则表示您尚未登录

提示：^(TIP:)我们有一篇关于如何在没有Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}的情况下在Windows中使用^(Windows)Microsoft Store的详细文章。

1. 搜索应用、游戏、电影、电视节目和硬件

在Microsoft Store^{(Microsoft Store)}中查找内容的最简单方法是使用窗口顶部的搜索^{(Search )}框。键入关键字，然后单击或点击搜索按钮或按^{(search button or press)}键盘上的Enter键。

Microsoft Store还允许您通过浏览其目录来查找内容。在应用程序窗口^{(app window)}的左侧，您可以看到几个类别。在所有这些类别（家庭^(Home)、应用程序^(Apps)、游戏^(Gaming)、电影和电视^{(Movies & TV)}）中，Microsoft Store以一系列包含Microsoft推荐项目的大图块以及热门^(Top)、基本^(Essential)、新品^(New,)和畅销^{(Best selling)}等部分来欢迎您。这些部分会有所不同，具体取决于您所在的类别。您可以按查看全部^{(See all)}每个部分旁边的链接以进行探索。以下是如何查找Apps的示例：

每个类别都有相当多的部分，可以进一步扩展

Microsoft Store中的所有类别还包括一些现成的集合^{(Collections)}。例如，电影和电视^{(Movies & TV)}部分提供了一个收藏^{(Collections)}页面，您可以在其中浏览漫威电影宇宙^{(Marvel Cinematic Universe)}中的电影，还可以浏览销售和特价、迪士尼^(Disney)大片等。这些集合在不断变化，具体取决于Microsoft决定宣传的内容。要访问收藏页面，^{(Collections )}请^{(See all)}转到主页^(Home)、应用程序^(Apps)、游戏^(Gaming,)或电影和电视^{(Movies & TV)}页面的底部，然后单击或点击收藏^{(Collections)}部分。

3.获取^(Get)免费应用程序、游戏和其他免费赠品

即使我们谈论的是商店，也有很多很多免费物品可用。Microsoft Store加载了免费的应用程序和游戏 - 不要被零价格标签^{(zero price tag)}误导，因为那里有高质量的产品。

每个类别通常都有一个热门免费部分

检查主页^(Home)和应用程序类别的^(Apps)热门免费^{(Top free)}部分以尝试新的东西。Microsoft根据您的浏览、搜索和应用使用历史记录提供对您有用的应用。还有许多免费游戏可供您选择。如果可用部分未显示^{(t display)}感兴趣的项目，请使用“搜索^{(Search )}”功能，然后应用“类型^(Types)”列表中的“免费^(Free)”过滤器。

您可以使用搜索功能^{(Search function)}在Microsoft Store中查找免费应用和游戏^{(apps and games)}

注意：^{(NOTE: )}某些免费应用程序会要求您登录您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}。

4. 购买内容：应用、游戏、电影和电视节目

你想拥有一部你的朋友正在谈论的电影吗？或者你想玩三A游戏吗？没问题，Microsoft Store有很多优质内容可供选择。付费最高^{(Top paid)}的部分有很多可供选择，购买过程^{(purchase process)}也很简单。通常^(Often)，还提供免费试用。

只需点击几下即可购买

如果您正在寻找一部精彩的电影或您喜爱的电视节目^{(TV show)}的最新剧集，Microsoft Store也可以满足您的需求。购买过程^{(purchase process)}与应用程序和游戏^{(apps and games)}相同，因此您可以在几秒钟内获得您想要的东西。当然，您需要登录您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}才能购买商品。

5.购买^(Buy)、下载和安装文档和演示文稿的字体

Microsoft Store的最新部门之一是字体^(Fonts)。目前，可用的字体选择有限，但该列表肯定会随着时间的推移而增长。只需在“^(Simply)搜索^{(Search )}”框中键入“字体^(fonts)” ，然后键入Enter即可显示它们。与往常一样，您可以应用过滤器（在本例中为Fonts）来缩小搜索范围。

在 Microsoft Store 中查找字体

提示：^(TIP:)如果您使用的是Windows 10，以下是查看、安装和删除字体的方法。

6. 获取 Windows 10 和Windows 11主题

Microsoft Store中有数百个Windows主题可用，其中大部分是免费的！要查看它们，请转到“搜索^(Search)”字段并输入“ windows theme ”，然后单击“获取您的主题^{(Get your theme)}”按钮。

从Microsoft Store获取Windows主题^(Windows)

提示：^(TIP:)您想为您的 PC 提供更多有趣的主题吗？这是一篇文章，其中包含另外 6 个免费Windows 11和Windows 10主题的绝佳下载位置。

7.购买^(Buy)笔记本电脑、平板电脑、游戏机和其他硬件

Microsoft Store可让您购买Surface平板电脑和配件、Xbox游戏机等硬件，还可以购买来自戴尔、^(Dell)惠普、联想^(Lenovo)、Alienware等的笔记本电脑。您还可以使用它来查找和购买Windows Mixed Reality 耳机^{(Windows Mixed Reality headset)}、耳机、扬声器、相机等。与往常一样，使用搜索^(Search)功能查找设备，然后在部门^{(Departments)}列表中应用设备^{(Devices )}过滤器。

搜索设备，然后根据需要过滤搜索

注意：设备在^(NOTE:)Microsoft Store菜单中没有自己的类别，但它们会显示在使用搜索时可用的过滤器中。

8. 使用多种支付方式支付内容

假设您刚刚找到了自己喜欢的游戏或需要拥有的出色应用。如果您已登录Microsoft 帐户，则在^{(Microsoft account)}Microsoft Store中付款很容易。您可以使用多种不同的付款方式^{(payment method)}，包括信用卡或借记卡^{(credit card or debit card)}、PayPal和移动计费。要添加付款方式，请单击或点击^{(payment method)}Microsoft Store上部的您的图片，然后选择付款方式^{(Payment methods)}。

单击^(Click)突出显示的链接以查看付款方式

这将打开一个网页，您可以在其中设置您喜欢的付款方式^{(payment method)}。设置完成后，该付款方式^{(payment method)}将在Microsoft Store中用于购买。

付款设置页面在您的默认浏览器中打开^{(default browser)}

9. 访问您的应用、游戏、电影和电视节目库

把你所有的东西放在一起可能是一项艰巨的工作，但是图书馆^(Library)让你的东西分类变得容易。在Microsoft Store^{(Microsoft Store)}窗口的左侧，您可以找到一个库^(Library)按钮。单击^(Click)或点击它。在下一个窗口中，您可以找到您的应用、游戏、电影和电视节目的列表，无论您是购买它们还是免费下载它们。此外，您可以从专用按钮过滤和排序项目。

在Microsoft Store^{(Microsoft Store)}中访问您的库

单击列表中的任何项目会将您带到该应用程序的页面，允许您打开它或查看其详细信息。

10. 更新或安装您的应用和游戏^{(apps and games)}

^(Download)在Microsoft Store中^{(Microsoft Store)}下载以前购买的应用和游戏^{(apps and games)}

注意：^{(NOTE: )}您无法从Microsoft Store应用程序中卸载应用程序。如果您在卸载应用程序时需要帮助，这里有一篇文章描述了在Windows中删除桌面程序和^(Windows)Microsoft Store 应用^{(Microsoft Store apps)}程序的 9 种方法。

11. 配置微软商店

值得庆幸的是，配置Microsoft Store并不是什么大问题：只有几个选项可用，但如果您按照自己喜欢的方式配置它们，它们可以让您的生活更轻松。要访问您的设置，请单击窗口右上角的图片，然后在打开的菜单中选择应用程序设置^{(App Settings)}。

点击^(Click)应用^(App)设置打开设置页面^{(Settings page)}

通过访问App Settings，您只能切换四个属性：

• 自动更新^{(Auto-updating)}，让您的应用和游戏^{(apps and games)}始终安装最新版本
• 购买登录^{(Purchase sign-in)}，因此该应用^{(app doesn)}在购买商品时不会要求验证。^{(t ask)}它为了舒适而牺牲了安全性，但这可能正是您一直在寻找的环境
• 离线权限使设备能够玩一些游戏或打开许可证有限的应用程序，即使设备处于离线状态
• 您还可以选择从每个应用程序的页面自动播放演示视频^{(presentation videos)}

11 things you can do in the Microsoft Store for Windows

The Windows environment is evolving every day, and the Microsoft Store is too. From it, you can purchase games, apps, movies, game passes and subscriptions, Windows themes, fonts, and even devices such as gaming consoles or laptops. Did you know that your purchases are synchronized across all your Windows devices, including your PC, tablet, and even your Xbox console? Once you purchase something from the Microsoft Store, you can access it from all your devices, as long as you are using the same Microsoft account on all of them. To help you get going with the Microsoft Store, here are eleven things that you can do with it in Windows 11 and Windows 10:

NOTE: This article applies to both Windows 10 and Windows 11. If you don’t know what version of Windows you have on your device, read this tutorial: How to tell what Windows I have.

Getting started

In order to access the content, you have to first open the Microsoft Store. One way to do it is by clicking or tapping on its taskbar shortcut. Then, check whether you’re logged into your Microsoft account. The quickest way to tell is by looking at the upper-right corner of the app window. There, you should see an icon that looks like a portrait (or your portrait). Click on it. The drop-down list that appears should look similar to the one in the screenshot below.

Check if you are signed into your account in Microsoft Store

If instead, you see a Sign in option, you are not signed in. You can either click or tap it to continue the sign-in process, or continue to use the app without an account.

If you see this option, you are not signed in

TIP: We have a detailed article on how to use the Microsoft Store in Windows without a Microsoft account.

1. Search for apps, games, movies, TV shows, and hardware

The easiest way to find something in the Microsoft Store is to use the Search box from the top of the window. Type a keyword, then click or tap the search button or press the Enter key on your keyboard.

Use the Search feature to find items in the Microsoft Store

The search results may contain many different types of content, like apps, games, books, movies, TV shows, and even hardware or accessories. So, after searching for a keyword, you can choose the department you’re interested in.

Select the department after performing the search

Alternatively, you can further refine your search by applying filters. Simply click or tap on the Filters button in the upper-right part of the window, then click on one of the filter types to display a drop-down list. Finally, select the filter you want to apply from the list.

Using filters to narrow your search in Microsoft Store

TIP: Check out all the filters for the active search! Depending on the search term, the number and type of filters changes, and you might stumble upon some great content.

2. Browse for content: Apps, Games, Movies & TV

The Microsoft Store also lets you find content by browsing its catalog. On the left side of the app window, you can see several categories. In all these categories (Home, Apps, Gaming, Movies & TV), the Microsoft Store welcomes you with a series of large tiles with items that Microsoft recommends, as well as with sections like Top, Essential, New, and Best selling. These sections are different, depending on what category you’re in. You can press the See all link next to each section to explore it. Here's a sample of how that looks for the Apps :

Each category has quite a few sections which can be expanded further

All categories from the Microsoft Store also include some ready-made Collections. For instance, the Movies & TV section offers a Collections page where you can browse movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also Sales & specials, Disney blockbusters, and so on. These collections are constantly changing, depending on what Microsoft decides to advertise. To access the Collections page, go to the bottom of the Home, Apps, Gaming, or Movies & TV pages, then click or tap on the See all link in the Collections section.

3. Get free apps, games, and other freebies

Even though we are talking about a store, there are lots and lots of free items available. The Microsoft Store is loaded with free applications and games - and do not be misled by the zero price tag, as there are high-quality products out there.

Each category usually has a Top free section

Check the Top free sections of both the Home and the Apps category to try something new. Microsoft offers apps that can be useful to you, based on your browsing, search and app usage history. There are also many free games you can choose from. If the available sections don’t display interesting items, use the Search feature and then apply the Free filter from the Types list.

You can use the Search function to look for free apps and games in Microsoft Store

NOTE: Some free apps will require you to be signed into your Microsoft account.

4. Buy content: apps, games, movies, and TV shows

Do you want to own a movie your friends are talking about? Or would you like to play a triple-A game? No problem, the Microsoft Store has lots of premium content to choose from. The Top paid sections have a lot to offer, and the purchase process is straightforward. Often, there are also free trials available.

The purchase is a few clicks away

If you are looking for a great movie to watch or the latest episodes from your favorite TV show, the Microsoft Store also has you covered. The purchase process is the same as for apps and games, so you can get what you want in a matter of seconds. Of course, you need to be signed into your Microsoft account to purchase items.

5. Buy, download, and install fonts for documents and presentations

One of the newest departments of the Microsoft Store is Fonts. For now, there is a limited selection of fonts available, but the list will surely grow in time. Simply type “fonts” in the Search box, then type Enter to display them. As always, you can apply a filter (in this case, Fonts) to narrow the search.

TIP: If you’re using Windows 10, here’s how to view, install, and remove fonts.

6. Get Windows 10 and Windows 11 themes

There are hundreds of Windows themes available in the Microsoft Store, and most of them are free! To view them, go to the Search field and type “windows theme”, then click on the Get your theme button.

7. Buy laptops, tablets, gaming consoles, and other hardware

The Microsoft Store lets you buy hardware such as Surface tablets and accessories, Xbox consoles, but also laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Alienware, and others. You can also use it to find and buy a Windows Mixed Reality headset, headphones, speakers, cameras, and so on. As always, use the Search feature to look for the device, then apply the Devices filter in the Departments list.

Search for the device, then filter the search if needed

NOTE: Devices don’t have their own category in the Microsoft Store menus but they do show up in the filters available when using search.

8. Pay for content using several payment methods

Let's assume that you just found your favorite game or a great app that you need to have. Paying is easy in the Microsoft Store, if you’re logged into your Microsoft account. You can use several different payment methods, including credit card or debit card, PayPal, and mobile billing. To add a payment method, click or tap on your picture on the upper part of the Microsoft Store, then select Payment methods.

Click the highlighted link to see the payment methods

This opens a webpage in which you can set up your favorite payment method(s). After setting it up, that payment method will be available in the Microsoft Store for purchases.

The payment settings page opens in your default browser

9. Access your library of apps, games, movies, and TV shows

Keeping all of your stuff together can be a hell of a job, but the Library makes sorting your stuff easy. On the left side of the Microsoft Store window, you can find a Library button. Click or tap on it. In the next window, you can find a list of your apps, games, movies, and TV shows, regardless of whether you bought them or downloaded them for free. Furthermore, you can filter and sort the items from the dedicated buttons.

Accessing your Library in the Microsoft Store

Clicking on any item in the list takes you to that app’s page, allowing you to open it or see its details.

10. Update or install your apps and games

Usually, Microsoft Store handles updating apps and games automatically, as long as they are downloaded from it. However, you can also use the Library window to manually update app and games in the Microsoft Store. If you have apps that you previously got from the Microsoft Store but are not installed on the device you’re using, you can also download them from this screen. Simply click on the download button (it looks like a cloud with an arrow pointing down) next to the app.

Download previously acquired apps and games in the Microsoft Store

NOTE: You cannot uninstall apps from the Microsoft Store app. If you need help uninstalling an app, here’s an article describing 9 ways to remove desktop programs and Microsoft Store apps in Windows.

11. Configure the Microsoft Store

Thankfully, configuring the Microsoft Store is not a big deal: there are only a few options available, but they can make your life easier if you configure them the way you prefer. To access your settings, click your picture in the upper-right part of the window, and then choose App Settings in the menu that opens.

Click on App settings to open the Settings page

By accessing the App Settings, you can toggle just four properties:

• Auto-updating, so your apps and games always have the latest version installed
• Purchase sign-in, so the app doesn’t ask for authentication when buying items. It sacrifices security for comfort, but this might just be the setting you have been looking for
• Offline permissions make the device able to play some games or open apps that have limited licenses, even when the device is offline
• You can also choose to auto-play the presentation videos from each app’s page

On the same page, there are also several links related to License Terms, Store Terms, Privacy Statements, etc.

Only a few settings are available for the Microsoft Store app

What do you use the Microsoft Store most often for?

The Microsoft Store from Windows has a simple interface, although navigating through different categories and sections can get a bit confusing. With a growing number of free apps and games, as well as a great selection of movies and TV shows, it can become your one-stop-shop for everything you need on your Windows tablet, laptop, or PC. Now that you have an idea of what the Microsoft Store has to offer, use it for a while and share your experience with us. What is your favorite feature of the Microsoft Store?
