Note that the number displayed in the bottom left corner of the Windows Store Live Tile is the number of updates available for apps that you have already installed (or that came preinstalled with Windows).
Browse the applications in the Windows Store sorted by Category. You can also search the store through the search charm.
Click on the application you want to install on your device.
Read and review the app information, which includes it's rating, user reviews, links to related websites, size of the application and other useful information.
Click the install button if you wish to install the app on your device. If the application is not free, there will be a buy option. There may also be an option to try the application alongside the buy button on some apps.
The app will now be downloaded and installed on your device. You may open it from the Start screen.
