How do I transfer apps from Microsoft Store to another computer?

You will need to create a family group for your Microsoft account and each user will need their own Microsoft account. Once the family group is created you then simply need to login to the PC as the user you want to share the game with and open the Microsoft Store to download the game.

Can you put apps from Microsoft Store on desktop?

Way 1. For Windows 10, click Start. For Windows 11, click Start and click All apps This will show a list of all apps you have installed in Windows. Find the target app from the list, drag and pull the app from the Start menu to the desktop. This will create a desktop shortcut for the app installed from Microsoft Store.

The best way to do this is to create a new Windows 10 project based on the universal template and then copy all the source files and assets to it. There's a detailed description on MSDN here:
