    How to transfer a deleted Microsoft Store App to another device from a local account?


    I downloaded a free app which was deleted from the Microsoft Store using a local account. This app is still functional and I am still able to regularly use this app. Since I downloaded this app using my local account and not a Microsoft account is there a way to transfer the apps files so that I can use the app on another device?

    :)

    I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

    With a Microsoft account you can then use OneDrive and Office Online apps for free. You can also use built-in native Windows apps which require a Microsoft account like Mail, Skype Preview, People, Calendar and download apps from Windows Store.

    See steps 3 to 5 in this tutorial to continue using local account as Windows sign-in account even when / if you download apps from store and / or use Windows apps requiring a Microsoft account, to avoid Windows user account converting to Microsoft account: Store - Use when Signing in to Windows 10 with Local Account - Windows 10 Forums

    App store and Microsoft account


    Yes. When you sign in to the Store with a Microsoft account like in step 5 in Option Two of the tutorial below instead of switching to a Microsoft account you will and stay a local account.
