Information about badges is available at: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/store/badges

A zip file containing current badges is available here, but the best one is available from their CDN at this url.

The link to the store should either be:

ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9NJ46SX7X90P

or

https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NJ46SX7X90P?ocid=badge

The first URL only works on Windows 10, but it will go directly to the store app. So if we're confident in the UA sniffing then it's a better option. The second link will work on any machine.

I think it'd be best to appear on this obvious Download section (rough mockup below) and we'll add it to the Downloads page as a text link next time we do an update.

For what it's worth, this is not urgent. While I don't see us abandoning the store app anytime soon, it's also not the primary installer, so it doesn't have to be on the front page yet. But I wanted to get the issue in so we don't forget it.
