Microsoft Store
PC software shop
Microsoft Store is the digital marketplace built into Windows where users download apps, games, movies, and other media.
It functions as the official distribution channel for Windows software, similar to app stores on mobile devices.
The name also applies to Microsoft's retail locations: I took my laptop to the Microsoft Store for repairs.
