  1. Launching a bought game on a new laptop


    Hi, 2 years ago I bought a game - Minecraft master for my daughter. She will be given a new laptop. Is it possible to start the game on the new laptop when she signs in her store account and launches the game from there? Now two important points - in the Store I see only Library, but not My library - how come? and - more important - will the new launched game be installed from the very beginning or with the game progress? Another problem - this product does not exist any more, only Microsoft deluce, not master. Is it a problem? Thanks, Bye, Petr

    :)

  2. Launching games

    Hi Wesley,

    Windows 10 is gamer-friendly by design. If an issue like being unable to launch a game happens, it can be caused by outdated display driver or other factors that cause conflict when launching the app. For us to better assist you, we'd like to ask for additional
    information. Please answer the following:

    • What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
    • Are you getting an error message when launching the game?
    • Have you made any changes to the settings or installed updates prior to this issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • What specific games are you having issues with?

    We will wait for your response.

    Launching a bought game on a new laptop

    Sims4 will not launch on my new laptop

    Hello Yasir,

    Thank you for providing the link but it did not help. I took the steps they suggested and nothing worked, same error message from Microsoft. I have also restored my laptop to default settings and re-installed Origin and the game with the same result, error
    message.

    Thank you,

    Alicia
