Hi, Shivkumarsingh,

STEP 1: Copy all the .xap files which you want to install in your Windows 8 phone to your SD card.

STEP 2: Now go to Start -> Store -> SD card and wait for few minutes for all the .xap files to be loaded.

STEP 3: Select the app which you want to install -> Select Install option.

STEP 4: If your apps are compatible then you can see them in the Compatible apps list if not it will be shown in the Incompatible apps list.

STEP 5: Once you have successfully installed the apps, you can see those apps listed in the Apps list from start.

    actually you can't, nokia's phone has no sd card....;)

    I'm new in windows phone OS, but from what I've read, you must "unlock" somewhat...;) then you can install what xap you want..;)

    On phones that have an SD card apps can be installed from the SD card. No unlocking is necessary.

    You can install apps that are meant for your phone and region.
