I am not sure what you mean. The Kindle app cannot download books unless it is signed in.
If you are downloading copies using the Download & Transfer function of Amazon's website then you must have selected a Kindle device or Fire tablet as the intended destination. If so that download will usually be locked to that particular device using DRM. Assuming that you own a Kindle and not a Fire tablet then that downloaded copy can be used for converting in calibre, assuming that is your intent. Kindle for PC is not needed for that.
If you just want to read on your PC and not convert you can use a newer version of Kindle for PC instead. There is even a more functional Kindle app available from the Microsoft Store for Windows 11 that is equivalent to Kindle for Android.
