    Microsoft store won't download games, says no applicable device


    I'm trying to download a game with my game pass update the halo collection to include Halo 3: ODST but the app wouldn't update, when I try to go to downloads and updates it just freezes, when I try to install it from the store page it either freeze or lag, then pulls up a window saying "Where do you want to install? ... no applicable device linked etc etc" when I'm trying to install on my desktop where I run the app and it installed to it many times before with no problem. I wasn't sure if it was because I changed the default install drive from my SSD which is only 512 GB and I only got windows on it since I don't want to shorten its lifespan for a bit faster load time for games to my HDD which is 8 TB with 5 TB free and where I keep anything that isn't windows, really need to make it easier cause I was very annoyed that the app just downloaded all the data to my SSD without telling me, really annoying and is harmful to the drive which wasn't cheap!, so I uninstalled the masterchief collection and it still gives me the same error, what gives? how can it be fixed?

    Microsoft store won't download games, says no applicable device

    download from Microsoft store to all my devices

    My problem is that I bought a product from the Microsoft Store on my laptop. I downloaded it there just fine. If I log into my Microsoft account on my desktop, go to the Microsoft store to buy the same product, it says "you own this game". There is a
    button that says "Install on my devices". I click that button and the only available device is my laptop.

    How can I add my desktop to the list of devices on my Microsoft account so that I can download the game there?
