Apps from Windows Phone to Desktop

Dec 16, 2014 2:06AM PST

Hey, I've got my windows phone for a while and i've bought some games from the store and I'm reciently getting into windows 8 and i don't know a lot about it but I see that in the computer store there are the games I've already bought in my phone but I can't download them already, I need to pay, and in the Games App I'm logged in but I can only see achievements and that sort of stuff. Can I have the Apps I bought on my windows phone in my computer?
