The following blog post has instructions on how to use the Chrome browser to Create Windows 10 app from any website.
Windows 10 is one of the most innovative operating system available in Windows OS lineup. One of the best thing about Windows 10 is that it supports modern apps which users can download from Microsoft Store. Unfortunately, it lacks lots of useful apps, for example, Facebook, Google Calendar and others.
If you’re using Chrome as the default browser, then there’s a nifty feature available in the browser using which users can convert any web service into a Windows 10 app (PWA). The same feature is already available in the Edge and Firefox browser. You might love to check the following links:
