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!

    I am just as concerned as Maggie is. I tried downloading Minecraft on my Windows 10.. I had already installed the Minecraft Windows 10 Edition... but I wasn't able to invite my friends.. So I tried installing Minecraft, just Minecraft. Once I purchased it, it said my device wasn't applicable, so I tried everything I could. Microsoft isn't really an application you can trust.. I am very frustrated.. Is there any possible way I can get a refund?? Thank you.

    Had the same issue, though found that if I opened the Microsoft Store on my PC, and searched for a game, could install from there.

    I am also having a similar issue. Has this issue found a resolution?

        No, I'm afraid it hasn't. I wasted $30.00, and I am still unable to play the game I purchased.
