    Cant add device to account...


    Just bought Flight Sim, but then it says need to pick a device to download to... I want to add a new device. But when I go to that page it seems it has to be an xbox or surface or other MS device... I thought FS ran on windows? I have windows 10 on the device i want to download to and i am signed into my microsoft account from that device.


    Can't seem to find a way to add new device...? link text to add new device loops me back to a screen to add new device but has to be a MS device?...


    My other devices are showing in my account and they are 4 mac minis running windows and a macbook pro running windows under parallels. They show but I don't want to install on any of those devices - I want to install on this PC that isn't on the list of my devices....

    :)
