    Downloading a previously purchased game


    I previously purchased Minecraft Dungeons Hero Edition, and downloaded it on one pc. How do I download the same game THAT I BOUGHT, on a different pc, without buying it again? I signed into the Microsoft account and store on the new pc, and I see the order, but when I try to download it, it wants me to buy it again, and there is no install button. Please help

    :)

    Previously purchased Scrabble Game

    Hi Willie,

    Let's try to isolate the issue so that we could find your Scrabble game. Normally, the game should automatically be downloaded to your computer after purchasing it. Can you tell us if the game app appear in the
    Desktop window? Also, can you check if it also shows up on the list of apps from
    Start?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you open Windows Store app on your computer, and go to
    My Library. From there, please check if the game shows up and if you can be able to launch it from there.

    We look forward to your reply.
