It sounds like you're asking if you can initiate a download from the Microsoft Store through your web browser. While you can't directly download an app or game into your web browser (they are separate applications), you can start the download process for a Microsoft Store app from a web browser on your PC. Here's how:
Steps to Download Microsoft Store Apps/Games from a Browser:
- Find the App/Game on the Microsoft Store Website: Open your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and navigate to the Microsoft Store website. You can typically find it by searching "Microsoft Store" on your favorite search engine.
- Search for the App/Game: Use the search bar on the Microsoft Store website to find the specific app or game you want to download.
- Go to App/Game details and click to get: Go to the app or game details page, Select the app or game you'd like to download, and then select Get. (According to the reference provided).
- Open in the Microsoft Store App: When you click the "Get" or "Install" button on the website, a prompt will usually appear asking if you want to open the link in the Microsoft Store app on your computer. Click "Open Microsoft Store" (or the equivalent wording).
- Sign In (If Required): The Microsoft Store app will open. If you're not already signed in, you'll be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account to finish downloading your app or game.
- Initiate the Download: After signing in, the download should start automatically within the Microsoft Store app. If it doesn't, look for an "Install" or "Get" button on the app's page within the Microsoft Store app and click it.
Why Can't I Directly Download Into My Browser?
Web browsers are designed to run web applications and display web content. Apps and games from the Microsoft Store are typically designed to run directly on your operating system (Windows). Therefore, they need to be installed through the Microsoft Store, which manages the installation and updates of these applications.
In Summary: You can start the download process from your browser, but the actual downloading and installation happen within the Microsoft Store app.
