# How to install Motiview on Windows PC/tablet?

## This is a walkthrough of how to get Motiview up and running on your Windows PC/tablet

### Prerequisites

- A PC or tablet that follow the [minimum system requirements](https://docs.motiview.com/other/technical-requirements)
- Check for and install all pending Windows updates
- Administrative rights on the computer
- Internet access

### Create a Windows user

You'll start by creating a *local user* in Windows, to be used by the Motiview application. This is to ensure no personal documents or files are exposed to the end users while using Motiview. If you already have a dedicated user on the computer for Motiview usage, you can skip this step.

1. Click the **⊞Start** button, and go to **Settings** \> **Accounts**, and then select **Family & other users**
2. Select **Add someone else to this PC**
3. Select **I don't have this person's sign-in information**, and on the next page, select **Add a user without a Microsoft account**.
4. Enter Motiview as the user name, and let the password be blank, and click **Next**

If you have a Windows 10/11 Professional computer, or have an IT department that manage user accounts, you might have policies that says you need a password. If so, make sure the password is available for the users of the computer

### Log in to the Motiview user

After creating the Motiview user in Windows, you will now need log into this account to install Motiview

1. Select the **Start** button, and click on your user to select Motiview
2. Log in to the newly created account

If your computer asks for a *username* and *password*, instead of letting you choose a login, you'll use **.\\Motiview** as the username (including the dot and backslash)

### Install the Motiview application

If Microsoft Store isn't available on your computer, you can install Motiview by enabling *sideloading*. Please get in touch with us if you need this.

1. Open **Microsoft Store** on your computer / tablet, and search for Motiview. You can also [click here to open the Motiview page in MS Store directly](ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=9wzdncrdsf2q)
2. Click **Get** to download the application. Note that you don’t need to log in to a Microsoft account to be able to enjoy Motiview.  
   ![msstore-install](https://help.motitech.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20images/msstore-install.gif?width=688&name=msstore-install.gif)
3. **The application should now be installed** on your desktop.
4. Open up Motiview, and add your license code when prompted. After entering the license and clicking next, Motiview will start up for its first time. The application need to do some background tasks to enable all functionality, and this could take a couple of minutes.

Even though it is not required for Motiview to work, we recommend keeping the computer connected to the internet, to enable the users to download new videos, and get the latest product updates and fixes automatically.

**Congratulations!** You're now ready to use Motiview.
