The applications are identical in terms of function, just packaged differently. The differences have to do with installation, updates, and how Store Apps are containerized. Advantages of Store version: The store app will update automatically from the store. Store apps go through a certification to make sure it does not have viruses and behaves properly, so in general Store apps are "safer" (though in this case the code is the same). Store app updates are more efficient (only deltas need be downloaded, though this is not consequential since SLX is already small) I can get telemetry from Store apps (assuming the user allows it), so I can see failure info in some cases Store apps virtualize their registry and storage and cannot write to the "regular" registry nor sensitive file areas Store apps do not require admin privileges to install Advantages of Legacy Installer: You can roll back to previous version if I screw something up I always recommend the store app, but some prefer the legacy installer to better control updates and potential roll-backs.
