    • It seems like everyone has taken an interest in Microsoft’s new OS, Windows 11, and the new Microsoft Store.

    And if you’re as excited as everyone about this news, you’ve already installed and tested the latest preview build to see for yourself what all the fuss is about.

    Unfortunately, what users noticed after installing the preview build of the new OS is that the new Microsoft Store was nowhere to be found.

    Is the new Microsoft Store available?

    Yes, but only a preview of it. According to Microsoft, the preview builds will have some missing features and will be a little different than the final version of the new OS:

    You will get to try many, but not all, of the new features we showed last week in this early preview. We will bring more features such as Chat with Microsoft Teams and Android apps in the Microsoft Store over the coming months as they are ready for you – we are just getting started on this journey together!

    Microsoft is not limiting the preview of the Microsoft Store app, but with the store itself simply as a preview, the Windows 11 build does not come with the pre-installed app.

    The final version of the new app Store will be available to customers with the upgrade to Windows 11 starting from this year’s fall.

    Until then, take a closer look at what the new Microsoft Store will bring users once the final version of Windows 11 will be out.

    What is the preview of Microsoft Store?

    The new app Store is still a work in progress the same as the new OS, so it’s only natural that Microsoft only launched an early preview of the new app Store for users to try it out.

    In a blog post, the Redmond tech company wrote:

    We are launching an early preview of the new Microsoft Store for you to try in the upcoming Windows Insider build. We’ll continue to build and refine it in the open, and we’d love for you to participate or – for developers – to bring your existing or new apps. See you there!

    You might’ve already seen that Zoom, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe’s popular PDF reader, and other well-known apps already showed up in Microsoft Store with many more to come over the next months.

    Even if this is not the final version, Microsoft did leave its gates open for developers and users to test out the new Store and all its existing perks.
