    MSFS 2020

    Greetings! I've bought MSFS 2020 SD Edition on the 15th of July. Nonetheless, I'm struggling to find the site to download the game since I've been a steam player and am not used to the microsoft store. Every time I click on my order, it takes me to the store
    and won't allow me to download the game itself.

    Cheers.

    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.

    MSFS 2020 Will not install

    I have been through many different posts here and from lots of other sites trying to get MSFS 2020 to install with no luck. I have uninstalled and re-installed MS Store, MS Xbox app, Gaming services, etc. and it still fails. I have even done a reset on my Windows and blew away all my apps and still no luck.

    It seems that if I uninstall gaming services and start the install before gaming services re-installs itself, the download starts. As soon as gaming services forces itself to install and its services start, the download immediately fails.

    Microsoft needs to fix this garbage. Seems lots of people are having the same issue and we all paid good money for this application.

    It used to work on this machine...

    Any suggestions for getting this fixed that I have missed.
