Windows 10: Cannot play a game while MSFS installs :

Thought I would play a game while I install MSFS, turns out every time I press A on my control, MSFS forums opens on the browser. This makes playing any game impossible! :' This needs to be patched.

Installing downloaded version of MSFS 2020 over Game Pass for PC version

I have been using the Game Pass for PC version of MSFS 2020 Standard for the last month to try the new version of the game. I now wish to purchase, download and install the Premium Edition of MSFS 2020 to replace/overlay/convert the Game Pass version.

Are there any identified issues with performing this task? Will my existing logbook, graphics/other settings, liveries, cached files, etc. be retained? In other words, will the installation be seamless, keeping all my old data and simply require the "digital
key" to activate the software?

Thanks in advance for any information the community can provide.
