How to Install Apps from SD Card in Windows Phone 8.x

So Hi everyone, it's been over a month since this website was last updated, I guess it was OCT 28-29. Well the sole reason behind this is "EDUCATION". This being one of the important years of my school, I've to study hard as this grades will decide my future career. Sincere apologies for this. This is a short tutorial on How to Install Apps from SD Card in Windows Phone or you can say How to Sideload apps from SD Card in Windows Phone.

For this tutorial I'm going to use the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual Sim. This feature made its debu with Windows Phone 8 OS which was released last year. This tutorial is solely for Windows Phone having SD Card support, WP devices without SD Card support( like Lumia 930, Lumia 920 etc) cannot be used to side-load apps.

Steps:

1. First of all head over to WindowsPhone.com and search for the app which you want to       sideload. We'll use UC Browser as an example for this tutorial.

2. Then scroll down on the app specific page and search for "Download and Install             Manually". Click on that and it should immediately start downloading the app on your       computer.

3. Move the downloaded .xap file to your Windows Phone's SD Card. You can transfer the       app to any folder in your SD Card you want.

4. Head-over to Store and click on ... and select Install Local Apps.

5. Select the app you want to Install in the list and Click On Install. And it should                 immediately start the installation of the app on your phone
