All I wanted to do was install Peacock, which is free.... same message. I'll watch it on my phone as I don't want to have to jump through hoops to figure this out... Such a simple thing, made so difficult.
Ok. What next?
‘No applicable devices linked to Microsoft account’

i have been trying to download sims 4 on my windows 10 lenovo. It says ‘you own this game’ and gives me the option to ‘install on my devices’ however when i click this, it tells me i dont have any applicable devices linked to my microsoft account. I do have a microsoft account and it is linked to my windows 10 laptop. Is this an issue with windows 10? It was very expensive so i therefore expect to get my moneysworth. Do i need am Xbox account? Is that the issue? Very frustrated i just wanted the sims and have discovered that many people have the same issue. Help me microsoft!

The Sim4 I have is handled by the Origin loader. Generally Steam can use a different email account and you need to basically use the same account with Steam, Origin and Uplay etc
It is a headache because Xbox is tied to your windows account, this is a security problem as well
