    Sharing games purchased on the microsoft store on different accounts?


    Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to share a game between 2 microsoft accounts, so if I log into my microsoft account on a computer, and it is the administrator, can i log in on my other account where i purchased a game, and use the main administrator but play the games on the other account? The reason I am asking this is becuase I bought all my games on my moms account, but I got a new computer, and i am using my microsoft acount on that. Thank you!

    :)

    Store game not showing as purchased ... and not playable

    Hi, RRotter,

    I am an Independent Advisor and will assist you.

    Have you contacted Microsoft Store about the issue?

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/28808/...

    Is the child signing into the device under your account with his own PIN number?

    Have you checked your account to determine if the game is listed in your purchases?

    Have you tried logging into your child's Store account using your PIN number instead of his?

    Check the steps listed in this thread on Sharing apps with Family

    Sharing games purchased on the microsoft store on different accounts?

    purchased game

    Hi,

    To install a game on you need to make sure that you sign in on your computer using the Microsoft account that you use to purchased the game. To install a game on Windows 10, you may follow the steps below:

    • Using your Microsoft account, sign in to the PC where you want to install your games.
    • On the Start screen, select the Store icon.
    • In the Store, select Games from the menu.
    • Browse to and select the game you want to buy.

    If you already own the game, you can install it on your PC. Otherwise, select Install to download and install the game.

    Should you need further assistance, feel free to post anytime.
