Install from Microsoft Store (recommended)
- On the download page of the program you want, select Install from Microsoft Store.
- When the Microsoft Store app opens, select its install button. The button name may differ depending on price or account status.
- When installation finishes, find the program in the Start menu and run it.
Direct download
If you can't use Microsoft Store, you can download the installer directly. When you run a directly downloaded installer, Windows may show an “Unknown publisher” warning. This doesn't mean the file is damaged; it means Windows couldn't verify who made the file.
- On the download page of the program you want, select Direct download, read the notice, then select Download directly anyway.
If you see a warning, here is what you can usually do.
- If the blue Windows protected your PC window appears, select More info, then select the Run anyway button that appears.
- If the User Account Control window shows “Publisher: Unknown”, check the file name and where you got it, then select Yes.
- If an administrator has blocked installation, as on many work or school PCs, you can't install this way. Contact your administrator or use the Microsoft Store version.
CautionOnly run the file after confirming you downloaded it from this site. If you're not sure where a file came from, don't run it—install the Microsoft Store version instead.
