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!

    Having this problem with Slay the Spire.   If it's not going to be able to install on the device, it should warn you before purchase. 

    If Microsoft can't invest properly in the Store to make it so basic things like downloading a game costing $25 work, then they should just kill the Store.  The Store may be leftover crud from the Steve Balmer era, but it seemed like the fastest way for me to get this game.
