Microsoft brought a new look at Windows Store with today's update in Windows 8.1 Update. Are the computers or tiles updated with this new version of the operating system?
The new design of the Store was specifically designed to use consumer feedback, Microsoft says, making it easier to find the applications you want on a PC or tablet. Starting with this update, the Windows Store displays a stunning navigation bar with Top Categories, Categories, Collections, and Accounts to provide instant access to some of the most popular Windows 8.1 Update applications.
"Navigating the Windows Store previously required a finger swipe on the screen or a right-click. Now, there is a navigation bar above the Store for intuitive and quick access. Our customers' opinions tell us that most people want to see top charts quickly, search the top categories that interest them, or browse through our edited collections. Because of this, the navigation bar focuses on Top Categories, Categories and Collections. You can still quickly access your account information. ” he says Microsoft.
At the same time, the Windows store has been updated to show multiple proposed titles on the main screen, again in order to bring the most popular Store apps to a shot distance.
Last but not least, the new Windows Store puts applications across all devices in the spotlight, so you can get an application and then access it from any other Windows 8.1 Update device, be it a single smartphone, tablet, or PC.
“Microsoft Studios, for example, is now publishing Halo: Spartan Assault that way, which means that if you bought it from the Windows Store or the Windows Phone Store, you can get that game for all other compatible Windows devices without having to pay again, ”the company said.
The new Windows Store design appears in Windows 8.1 Update via Windows Update to make sure that you have installed patches that have just been released before starting the store.
The company also says that everything should now be faster and smoother without it matter if you are on a computer or on a Tablet that runs Windows 8.1 Update.
