Microsoft Releases Remote "Push To Install" Feature In Windows 10 Store App

In June we reported over a new feature which was added to the net version with the Microsoft Store that permitted you to remotely install an app on Windows 10 devices in places you have an account. Based using a Windows Insider quest inside the Feedback Hub, Microsoft has gotten this feature on the Microsoft Store app and it is officially calling it "Push to Install".

According into a Windows Insider Feedback Hub quest, Push to Install inside the Microsoft Store app will work just how we were treated to it in the online world version.

Customers can get Windows apps and games in the Microsoft Store app today but could only install for the local device they can be currently on. The Microsoft (or internet site) allows an individual to purchase and install an Xbox game and possess it automatically pushed thus to their Xbox home console. Push to Install feature will supply a broader strategy to allow users from the Windows Store App (or web page) to setup any owned app or game to your of their applicable Windows devices. A user is now able to purchase a new game off their mobile phone, push it to both their Xbox console and home desktop PC, when he/she gets home both of them are fully installed capable to launch.

For those apps that keep the PTI feature, there'll be a "Install in my devices" button next towards the local "Install" button or possibly a link in the same name inside an already installed app's menu. You can see among this inside the image above.

When you click on "Install in this little devices", a Windows will open that lists all on the Windows 10 devices that you have an account. You can then choose the device, if an Xbox or Windows 10 PC, that you just wish to setup the app to.

In our previous tests with the net version from the Microsoft store, it took about fifteen minutes for the apps to ultimately install about the remote device. Hopefully it is been optimized to get a quicker install.

According to your feedback with this Windows Insider quest, this feature isn't currently available to every one users, including for me personally. We have confirmed, though, that it feature is found for some Windows 10 users in the the Insider builds and current Windows 10 builds.
