    Unable to install game purchased or add device for the game or rest pin!!


    Can someone please help me!


    I have purchased a game from my microsoft account but I now need to add my sons device. I can't do this without adding my pin which I have forgotten and when I try to reset it on his device its not picking up my microsoft account on his laptop even though its registered on the device. I'm going round in circles. I don't have my own laptop as it broke but I assume this would have enabled me to rest my pin on my own device?? How do I do it?

    :)

  3. Purchased Game Won't Install

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand the concern as you are unable to install Medical Center-Hidden Objects from Microsoft Store.
    In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:



    • What is the Version and Build of Windows 10 installed? (Type
      winver in Windows search/Run command)
    • What is the make and model of the PC?
    • Are you able to install other apps & games from Microsoft Store?


    However, we can try a few steps and check if that helps you to install the game. Before proceeding with the below steps, we would suggest you to sign out from Microsoft Store and after performing the steps sign in with the same
    Microsoft account used to purchase the game.



    Step 1:
    Reset the Windows Store Cache

    Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the
    Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.



    Note:
    A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.



    Step 2:
    Run the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter

    Select the Start button, and then select Settings>Update & Security
    > Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows Store apps > Run the troubleshooter.



    Step 3: Creating a New User account.

    If the issue persists, then we would suggest you to create a new administrator user account and check, refer this article to
    create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.

    Let us know the results. If the issue persists, we will certainly assist you further.
