When I start up the game it tells me to press any button to start. I press a button and then it tells me to insert the disk and press continue. I don't have a disk because I purchased the premium Deluxe Edition online it's bought-and-paid-for it says the game is installed but everytime I press continue it just pops up again please insert disc.

    This worked for me.

    • Known Issue: Some users seeing a "Please insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator disc" error when launching the game on Windows 10.
    • Workaround:  In order to play the game digitally on Windows 10, you will need to have the Digital Ownership File installed as it is required to grant the necessary permissions to play. If you already have this file installed and are running in to this error, please uninstall and reinstall this file only and this should resolve the issue. There is no need to uninstall the entire 127+GB base game files. Uninstalling this small 10MB file is all that will be needed

    I managed to make contact with a live agent. He has talked me through a Windows 10 upgrade to the latest version. You can find it in Windows update. Not the same as just running Windows update. Took about an hour for that to take place on my computer. Also did an app reset. Got past the insert the disk screen to a settings screen.   I adjusted a couple of the settings and pressed the next button and now it seems to be frozen.  Maybe installing a bunch of files not sure, giving some time. 

    Dont panic yet.  My upload started 5 hours ago and I have the fastest connection.  Still got another couple of hours to go.
