Reinstall Apps on Windows Phone

  • Artikel

If you accidentally delete an app or ever have to replace your phone, you can reinstall apps or games you've bought without paying for them again (as long as they're still in Marketplace).

Note You won't be able to reinstall an app unless you have Windows Phone 7.5. If you're not sure which software version is currently installed on your phone or how to install an update, visit Update central.

To reinstall apps from your phone

  1. On Start, tap Marketplace Marketplace Tile.
  2. Tap Search to find the app or game you want to reinstall.
  3. If it's a free app or game, tap Install. Otherwise, tap Buy, on the confirmation screen, you'll see a message saying you've already purchased this app. Tap Install to install it again.
  4. Follow the instructions to reinstall the app. You might have to re-enter your Windows Live ID.

To reinstall apps from the web

  1. On your PC, go to www.windowsphone.com, then sign in with the same Windows Live ID you used on your phone.
  2. Click My Phone, then click Account.
  3. Under App Purchase History, find the app you want to reinstall and click Reinstall.
  4. Follow the instructions to reinstall the app. You might have to re-enter your Windows Live ID.

Tip
The online Marketplace also provides a detailed purchase history, in case you've forgotten what you've bought. Phone apps and games sync directly with your phone and are not part of your media collection in the Zune software (or Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac) on your computer.
