I don't have the windows download option

I'm playing Minecraft on windows. I want to download the windows version but after clicking where it says installer it won't let me run it. It asks me to look in the Microsoft store for an app to run it as if I have the wrong install. How do I get the windows version so I can install and play mods? I just want to know how to find any of the windows versions, It doesn't matter which as long as I can find the Windows versions to have access to them.

The jar installer will run on (mostly) any operating system, including Windows. Forge only works for the Java edition of Minecraft, so if you are playing the Java edition (even on Windows), then you can use forge/mods. If you are running the actual Minecraft Windows version, you cannot use forge, since that version is not written in Java.

If the installer is failing to run, make sure you have Java installed, and if it still does not run, it's possible that your jar file association was hijacked by some other program, in which case you should be able to fix it by googling the jarfix program.
