Windows 10: Microsoft Store does not recognize device to install game

I bought a game on the sore and it won't recognize my device to install it. I have:

1. added my device through settings as instructed. It is showing as listed.

2. Updated windows

3. Updated Microsoft Store per instructions

4. restarted my computer


It still does not recognize my device to install the game.


Perhaps related but not sure: I had the game previously from another service and no longer use that service so I couldn't access the game. I uninstalled the game from my computer. How can I get the game to unstall?

Trying to install games from Microsoft Store on Windows 10

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried each of these, with no results. I would also like to note that on the Microsoft Store app, in my library, the game is listed, however, no option to install it is given.

 

Install Microsoft Store Game In Specific Folder

Hi,

I understand that you want to organize your Windows 10 storage location. However, the feature you're looking for is currently not possible. We suggest sending feedback to Microsoft using Feedback Hub app. You can visit this
article to know more details about it.

Moreover, you could always choose a preferred location from the Store settings, or move installed content to a different drive. In case you have the OS installed on an SSD and have a dedicated drive for games, the feature will make it more convenient to
download games to a dedicated drive before initiating the download.

You can follow the steps below on how to install Windows Store apps on a separate drive:

1. Open Settings.
   
2. Click on System.
   
3. Click on Storage.
   
4. Under "Save locations," and on "New apps will save to," select the new drive location.

Once you completed the steps, new apps you download from the Windows Store will now install automatically in the new location.
