  1. How long should it take before I can install a game I bought?


    I just bought Forza Horizen 4 in the windows store expecting that it would be available directly after I made the purchase. However this isn't the case. I paid using Ideal via the browser. There was a pop-up that told me that as soon as I was ready with the paiment that I should see the game on my product page see attachment for the pop-up message.

    When I was done with the paiment I pressed the button "Let's go get my new things" but instead of bringing me to my game it redirected me to the paiment page asking me to make the payment.

    Now it is almost an hour later and the game still hasn't showed up on my owned games page and I haven't got a confirmation email, so I was wondering if something went wrong with the order or if it just needs some time to process it.


    regards Ben
