The good news is that Microsoft is now allowing users to browse the official Windows Store from web browsers, meaning that users who are running Windows 7 or previous versions of Windows users can also browse the Windows Store.

Interestingly, there is no official URL to start browsing the web version of the Store(check the end of this article to get the search URL). That is, as of now, you can only search the Store for your favorite apps. You need to enter a search keyboard in the Search box and press enter key to see the availability.

In simple words, unlike other app stores, as of now, web version of Windows Store doesn’t show popular free apps, new apps, top paid, or best rated apps on the home page.
