Windows 10: Not able to install games from game pass.

I recently added the Game Pass 14 day trial to my account. It's pretty good and has decent games for it's small price, though I can't install any of the game included. It only shows me an option to "install on my devices" and when I click on it, the message appears, "it looks like you don't have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. To install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account." When I go to my account settings, my PC shows up as a device and I am super confused. It is really bothersome and all I want to do is install my games. Please help.

Xbox game pass not able to download Gears of war 4

Hello, I have recently purchesed the game pass. I bought the game pass with the intent to only play pc games. So far Halo Wars 2 was amazing. State of decay 2 stoped working after 2 days, but that's a whole nother discusion/problem(which has to do with your
buggy Microsoft Store).I dicided to try Gears of war 4, since I loved the earlier games on my Xbox 360. When I poened the Gears of war 4's Microsoft Store Page, I only got three options. The first one to install the game on Xbox One, the sacond to buy the
game and the third to install the trial version. My quastion is, is gears of war 4 not available on pc with the game pass? Because it clearly sais that it is on the game pass website.

I supose my real shortend quastion would be:"Why am I only able to install the trial version of gears of war 4?"

PS:

While writing this, My computer froze, because I had gears 4 trial opened on my sacond monitor (flwaless store , flawless pc port, flawless job Microsoft)
