Install .appxbundle on Windows 10 Home edition

0

I created a Xamarin UWP app, which was successfully installed in my Windows laptop using App Installer.

Now, I am trying to install it into a windows tab, which has Windows 10 Home Edition.

Edit : My aim is to run .appxbundle app on Windows 10 tablet Home edition. I am not able to install App Installer in the tab. The "Free" button is disabled. What could be the problem?
Could it be because it shows that "this application is currently only available for desktop PCs". It is a Windows tablet, it looks same as windows desktop.

Edit 2 : I tried to install .AppxBundle using Powershell : https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-appx-files-windows-10/

I gives an error :
Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFD, A Prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied. Unspecified error NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] d5a9e1f9-eb6c-0001-f6e5-a9d56cebd301 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID d5a9e1f9-eb6c-0001-f6e5-a9d56cebd301 At line:1 char:1 + Add-AppxPackage .\Appinstaller.AppxBundle + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (C:\Users\virtuz...ller.AppxBundle:String) [Add-AppxPackage], Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DeploymentError,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.AddAppxPackageCommand

Note : The usual Windows system contains Windows 10 Pro, but the tablet contains Windows 10 Home edition. Is it something to do with the Window edition ?

Edit 3 : @maginandre1981, My machine only has 'Use developer features' option, no 'Enable Device Portal' option is present.enter image description here

Here is the basic configuration of the windows tablet enter image description here

From the picture in edit 3 I assume that you use an old Windows 10 Build (TH1 - Build 10240 or TH2 Build 10586).

Update to Windows 10 v1709/1803 by downloading the ISO, double click the ISO to mount it into a virtual DVD drive, run setup.exe from the DVD

enter image description here

and select keep apps & data

Now you see both device portal and the App Installer app will be also downloadable.
