The store now includes links to Microsoft products

Microsoft revamped the Windows Store in Windows 10 to become the one destination for everything, and after adding sections for music, movies, and TV series, the company is now making another important change.

As WMPU notes, an update that Microsoft has made to the store now allows Windows 10 users to find products such as the Surface Book, Surface tablets, and Band from the search box, thus making it easier for everyone not only to get to the device but also to buy it.

Clicking on a search suggestion for a Microsoft device fires up the browser and loads the Microsoft Store page, but for the moment, it's not possible to purchase the product straight from the Windows 10 store.

And yet, this is most likely the direction that Microsoft is going for with this server-side update, as making its own devices available at a one-click distance on Windows 10 devices pretty much makes sense, as the company is trying to bring together all of its product.

Extension section also planned

In addition to dedicated sections for music, movies, and TV shows, Microsoft is also planning to introduce a new category that will allow users to download extensions for Edge browser.

This feature isn't ready yet, and the chances are that it will arrive with the Redstone OS update, but sources close to the development plans have said Microsoft is looking to expand the store with a new category specifically created for browser extensions.

This certainly makes sense, especially because Microsoft's offering a unified store across all devices, as it fully embraced the concept of universal apps, which, in their turn, are designed to run on phones and PCs and adjust to different form factors and screen sizes.

For the moment, these search suggestions are all we get in the store, but look for more changes in the coming months as Windows 10 seems to be constantly improving.
