Did you know that CrystalDisk is now available in MS Store?

# Install CrystalDiskInfo from Microsoft Store for SSD Health Monitoring

## Problem
CrystalDiskInfo, a popular disk health monitoring utility, is now available through the Microsoft Store for easier installation and updates. The store version provides the same S.M.A.R.T. attribute monitoring capabilities for both SATA and NVMe drives, though it may not include all interface themes available in the standalone version.

## Resolution
1. Open Microsoft Store on Windows
2. Search for "CrystalDiskInfo"
3. Install the application directly from the store listing
4. Launch the application to monitor drive health status, temperature, and S.M.A.R.T. attributes
5. Use the tool to check drive health percentages, power-on hours, and wear indicators for both SATA SSDs and NVMe drives

The Microsoft Store version provides standard functionality for monitoring drive health across different interface types (SATA/600, PCIe 3.0/4.0 x4) and can display critical attributes like reallocated sector counts, wear leveling, and percentage used values.
