how to put apps on desktop screen

[Joanne3416]

good day, im having trouble getting apps over to my desktop. i have tried the drag and drop an thats not working. im not sure what im doing wrong.  i didnt think that this would be a hard task on my brand new laptop. im guessing there is some sort of setting on there that i would need to modify but im not sure what exactly that would be. can someone send me the instructions please ? i have reached out to my school for help, my teachers an no one seems to have the answers..... please help this new girl out here. 

thank you so much i hope ur having a lovely day

Don't drag, just right click the app.exe > Send to > Desktop (create shortcut). If you don't know app.exe location to create desktop shortcut, then Open Start (Windows key), find the app in All Apps list.Right-click the app > More > Open file location and there you find it
