Thanks for your input.
I have many Windows devices on the same LAN segment at home. They all sign in using my MS acct.
Except for my main gaming PC. they can all download MSFS2020.
Main PC will always get these errors, varies day to day.

I have just done the latest WIN10 updates, and a WSreset, still not downloading.
No help from Zendesk/MS.

Some people with other computers on the same network were logged into a different Microsoft account at the same time. Log out of any MS accounts on PCs on your network (assuming you have other PCs at the same property.
Makes sure you have ADMIN privilege's in Windows, and you are signed into the right account when logging in to the same log-in account to download the game.
For myself, I had to log in to windows 10 on the Flight Sim account I bought it with. Then Download; have it on the PC, then I ran the load (takes ages on a normal gaming rig); then I ran it; later I logged out, and went back and logged into my other (main) Gaming PC with a different log-in to Windows, and started Microsoft Store and Downloaded on the other PC I usually game on.
Half of the problem has likely been Microsoft employing minority hires, rather than employing staff based on MERIT.
Best of.

Sorted...because I had changed my email from my account, I found you can look what other email addresses are linked to my now deleted address and used one to get back into my account and going to Outlook web page and changing the password which took a
bit of time toing and froing through my mobile as it was linked with it. I have now installed MSFS2020 after a couple of retries. Found that you can not reload the flight sim if you do not use the same account that you used to buy it with. This is my new
name (Midge666) instead of my old (Capt Beale) account name. Thought I had lost all my games that I had paid for and game saves but now Im a happy bunny. Microsoft making you jump through loops due to security but worth it took me a couple of days to work this out and staying up very late as I dont like to give up easily on things.
