How to Get the Google Play Store on an Android (with Pictures)

The Android market, now known as "Google Play," has many apps available for free. But it also has an app store with more elite apps available for sale.
STEPS

1

HIT THE "HOME" BUTTON LOCATED BELOW YOUR PHONE\'S SCREEN. This button looks like a house. Click the "Play Store" app to open the general Play store.

2

SELECT THE "APPS" CATEGORY. It's a green tab located in the middle left.

3

CLICK THE "TOP PAID" OPTION IN GREEN IN THE BLACK BAR TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE APPS SCREEN.

4

TOUCH AN APP YOU WANT TO BUY TO SELECT IT, SUCH AS MINECRAFT. Click the blue button in the next screen to begin the purchasing process.
TIPS
It's a good idea to try out "lite" free versions of apps before purchasing the full version so that you can be sure you will like it.
You'll need to enter a credit card as part of the purchasing process if you haven't already done so for the Play Store.
WARNINGS
You'll need a Google account to sign up with the Google market, but they are free.
