If you were to look back on the applications that you used several years before, Microsoft Paint is one of the things that come into mind. Many users have enjoyed drawing anything on the digital canvass and painting it with various colors on different versions of the Windows operating system. It is a simple graphic editor back then and has different tools to help users create shapes and pictures.

Now, if you don’t have MS Paint on your new computer, you can download and install it directly through Microsoft Store.
