# Add Microsoft Store for Business applications to a Windows 10 image
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
|
||
This topic describes the correct way to add Microsoft Store for Business applications to a Windows 10 image. This will enable you to deploy Windows 10 with pre-installed Microsoft Store for Business apps.
|
||
|
||
>[!IMPORTANT]
|
||
>In order for Microsoft Store for Business applications to persist after image deployment, these applications need to be pinned to Start prior to image deployment.
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
* [Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)](windows-adk-scenarios-for-it-pros.md) for the tools required to mount and edit Windows images.
|
||
|
||
* Download an offline signed app package and license of the application you would like to add through [Microsoft Store for Business](/store-for-business/distribute-offline-apps#download-an-offline-licensed-app).
|
||
deploy-windows-cm
|
||
* A Windows Image. For instructions on image creation, see [Create a Windows 10 reference image](deploy-windows-mdt/create-a-windows-10-reference-image.md).
|
||
|
||
>[!NOTE]
|
||
> If you'd like to add an internal LOB Microsoft Store application, please follow the instructions on **[Sideload LOB apps in Windows 10](/windows/application-management/sideload-apps-in-windows-10)**.
|
||
|
||
## Adding a Store application to your image
|
||
|
||
On a machine where your image file is accessible:
|
||
1. Open Windows PowerShell with administrator privileges.
|
||
2. Mount the image. At the Windows PowerShell prompt, type:
|
||
`Mount-WindowsImage -ImagePath c:\images\myimage.wim -Index 1 -Path C:\test`
|
||
3. Use the Add-AppxProvisionedPackage cmdlet in Windows PowerShell to preinstall the app. Use the /PackagePath option to specify the location of the Store package and /LicensePath to specify the location of the license .xml file. In Windows PowerShell, type:
|
||
`Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Path C:\test -PackagePath C:\downloads\appxpackage -LicensePath C:\downloads\appxpackage\license.xml`
|
||
|
||
>[!NOTE]
|
||
>Paths and file names are examples. Use your paths and file names where appropriate.
|
||
>
|
||
>Do not dismount the image, as you will return to it later.
|
||
|
||
## Editing the Start Layout
|
||
|
||
In order for Microsoft Store for Business applications to persist after image deployment, these applications need to be pinned to Start prior to image deployment.
|
||
|
||
On a test machine:
|
||
1. **Install the Microsoft Store for Business application you previously added** to your image.
|
||
2. **Pin these apps to the Start screen**, by typing the name of the app, right-clicking and selecting **Pin to Start**.
|
||
3. Open Windows PowerShell with administrator privileges.
|
||
4. Use `Export-StartLayout -path <path><file name>.xml` where *\<path>\<file name>* is the path and name of the xml file your will later import into your Windows Image.
|
||
5. Copy the XML file you created to a location accessible by the machine you previously used to add Store applications to your image.
|
||
|
||
Now, on the machine where your image file is accessible:
|
||
1. Import the Start layout. At the Windows PowerShell prompt, type:
|
||
`Import-StartLayout -LayoutPath "<path><file name>.xml" -MountPath "C:\test\"`
|
||
2. Save changes and dismount the image. At the Windows PowerShell prompt, type:
|
||
`Dismount-WindowsImage -Path c:\test -Save`
|
||
|
||
>[!NOTE]
|
||
>Paths and file names are examples. Use your paths and file names where appropriate.
