Install it through the Microsoft Store, or download it from this website. Same account, same trial, same plans.
Why get it from the Microsoft Store
- Installed through the Microsoft Store. You install Mini NOVA the same way as other Store apps, from a listing published by NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED.
- No SmartScreen “unrecognized app” warning. The website installer is unsigned for now, so Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” for it. The Store install does not.
- Updates through the Microsoft Store. The Store keeps Mini NOVA up to date alongside your other Store apps.
Microsoft Store certification
