    How to install a game that was bought before to a new PC?


    I have purchased a new PC. The problem is that I want to install a game that I bought via Microsoft Store last year. When I go to the store it wants me to purchase it again.

    Please try the steps given below and check if the issue persists:

    Step 1:

    Follow the steps below on how to install game in compatibility mode:

    1. Download the game from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    2. Right click on the setup file of the game and select “Properties”.

    3. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    4. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.
