Download & Install Windows Terminal on Windows versions without Microsoft Store:

It is posable to get Windows Terminal (both preview and retail version) on Windows 10 & 11 versions without the Microsoft store.
Like Windows Server editions, LTSC/LTSB versions or feature updates that are now obsolete and no longer supported by the MS Store.
To Download the installer for Windows Terminal, go to https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases and download the .msixbundle file for the wanted version.
The archive goes back to 2019 in the early development of this Windows Component.

Run powershell with administrator privileges and navigate to the folder where the .msixbundle Windows Terminal file is located.

Then run this powershell command:
Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.18.3181.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle
Replace Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.18.3181.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle with you're specific Windows Terminal .msixbundle filename.

You should now have Windows Terminal installed for all users! Look at your start menu for the app.
