Method 1of 2:

For Apps You Can't Install Yourself

Visit a search engine in your web browser. Although most bigger-name search engines will be able to handle your search to get you to the proper place, realize that not all search engines will be able to send you accurate results to get you the right information quickly.
Type the name of the app you'd like to look for, along with the two words "Windows Store" in the search bar, and submit the search.
- Make sure to type the title of the app in, with the correct capitalization of the product, as the title of the product in the Windows Store is case-sensitive!
Look for a search result that will lead you to the app itself that has a link that begins with "apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-US/app/" then the product name and some other randomized numbers and letters. (An example looks like Twitter app for Windows in the Windows Store).
Open this link. If you are on a Windows computer, it'll send you to the Windows Store itself. But don't worry. Switch back quickly to the Desktop view by using the?Win+Dshortcut.
Open the browser window you used to create the permalink search (which should be already displaying, as the browser doesn't give you ample enough time to research the correct link), if it wasn't correct to begin with).
Look up at the address bar. This address will be the permalink, as the redirect had proved to you. If you don't have the right Windows operating system for the app, if the page explains that specific app to you, you'll know it's the right app's page from which you can obtain the permalink for.
