Windows Store downloaded non-existing app

[davo_svk]

Hello!
I have two Surfaces Pro 3.
I had to reinstall windows on one of them, and just for try, I installed Windows 8.1 on it (downgraded from W10)
And on Start Screen appeared many downloadable applications (just icons) wich I had installed before ON ANOTHER DEVICE.

But one of them was "iNui Air Hockey" .. This app is no available on Store for a year..
But I clicked on it and installed... And now it works.. LOL How is that possible ?? When I click on "rate app" it doesnt work cuz this app is deleted from store.

I think its still on store, but not available for public.

Is there any way how to save that app ??? On USB or cut it from app location. I want it later when I install Windows 10 back.

Thank you!

As far as I know, it's not possible, but it seems you can re-download apps you previously installed through the same Microsoft account.

Wonder if they'll ever change this, other digital distribution platforms allow for local backups.

IT works!! If you have any link for an app, or product code or anything, even for deleted app
Just copy it and paste here

You can download package for any store app.
