Windows 10: How can I Tell the Microsoft Store Where Previously Installed Applications are?

Hello,


I recently installed a Forza Horizon Four on my D Drive, but I had to reinstall Windows. I was wondering if it was possible to tell the Microsoft Store where Forza Horizon Four is so that I don't have to download the game all over again. Is there a setting where I can tell the Microsoft Store where applications/games are installed, or do I just have to download the application all over again? Any and all help would be awesome.



Thank you in advance!
