Windows 10: Microsoft Now Shows the Apps That Were Built for Win 10 in the Store

Built for Windows 10? As distinct from built for Windows 8, I suppose.

I suppose all those Windows 7 users are going to see this and... oh wait.

 

Ummm, let me see if I have this right.

You are running Windows 10....So you have the Windows 10 Store App....that has apps that are only in the Windows 10 Store... and now they tell you if they are designed for Windows 10... You can't get them on Windows 8, 8.1, 7, XP or any other version of Windows.

Doesn't this seem rather pointless.... where the hell else are you going to run a Windows 10 app.

 

Well someone might want an app they see in the store thinking it will work on their OS
If underneath it has Window 10 build that will let them know they have one of two choices
Upgrade to 10 or go without.

 

And users of what other OSes are likely to be looking in the Windows Store?*sarc

 

Those that use 8.1 might want to see if an app in 10 will work in 8.1
Windows 10 I find has a better store app

 

I totally agree. Nothing has changed with the Apps so what's the big deal?

 

If the app won't run in Windows 8.1 it won't install. I have apps on my phone that won't work on my computers and I have apps on my computers that won't on my phone. When I look at my apps in the store they are listed that they are incompatible and won't install. I just don't see how this makes the apps any better.

 

I have found myself that the ones in ten store are faster and have more added to them.

 

I'm not saying that some apps made for Windows 10 are not better. I don't know if they are or not. I'm saying a app that only runs on Windows 10 will not install on a earlier version of Windows. I don't see why "showing" that a app was made for Windows 10 is anything to get excited about.

 

So a user running either 7 or 8.1 and very happy with their OS, is going to switch to W-10 just so they can install an App that was built for W-10? Yea Right!

*Roflmao2

 

I think you misunderstand.... an 10 app can only run on 10

you will not see a Windows 10 app anywhere else except in the Windows 10 store....
you will not see a Windows 8.1 app anywhere else except in the Windows 8.1 store
you will not see a Windows 8.0 app anywhere else except in the Windows 8.0 store

Example I use AlarmClock HD on all of my Windows 8/8.1/10 machines
but each one, is different,
there is a Windows 10 version
there is a Windows 8.1 version
there is a Windows 8.0 version
each one has to be built to run on that platform and that version is only available on the corresponding OS.

some may suggest you upgrade to a different version, for it to run better or run at all, but I have only seen those in 8.0 machines where they wanted you to upgrade to 8.1., I have seen no reference for 10 apps.

and you may have to pay for each version separately...
