Apple Store on PC...

So...if I want an apple store app/program on my NOT-a-Mac PC, I can get a download at apple.com? or iCloud.com? Like my solitaire game for instance, can't be found in the Microsoft Store, would I be able to download it from the web using my apple id?

Windows, Windows 10

No programs can be downloaded from apple.com or icloud.com.

Mac programs can be downloaded from the Mac App Store from a Mac and they will only run on Macs. Many Mac programs can also be downloaded from developers websites/

iPhone and iPad programs can be downloaded from the App Store on iPhones and iPads and will only run on iPhones and iPads.


Two Apple programs that will run on Windows -- iCloud for Windows and iTunes for Windows are available in the Microsoft Store.

Games like solitaire that are available through Apple App Stores will not run on Windows.
