Installing apps on Windows 7 Pro

I've been able to install Learn Chinese with China Bubbles on my Ipad and Android phone with no problem.

I finally got it to download on my Win 8.1 Pro laptop, but it's been "installing" for 14 hours now.

This app indicates that it will run on "all devices" and "all but the oldest Windows machines". I cannot find a way to get it on this Windows 7 Pro desktop.

    Well, as you say, The app is shown in the windows 8 store - so it should indeed run in Windows 8. When I go to the app now, it says "pending (o% complete). As with almost everything with Windows 8, this is very bizarre.

    I can see it available for "all devices" and "All but the oldest windows machines". Certainly Windows 7 Pro would not be one of the "oldest windows". But there is no clue whatsoever as to how to download and install it.

    Now when I bring up the Windows Store and search for this it says, "you own this app".

    How can I deal with this?

    The Ipad & Android are two completely different operating systems and unless that program maker states specifically that there is an installation file that runs under a specific win version, its not going to work

    "All but the oldest windows machines" is a very generic statement that has no real validity

    The app is shown in the windows 8 store & not Win7
