It's not actually windows 10 is it? It's store only so I'll have to respectfully decline. Forza horizon and it's store shenanigans made me so angry that I uninstalled the entire windows store and eradicated all it's remnants. No game is worth that much trouble. It wouldn't allow me to play without creating an online account that would probably had been tied to my windows installation. I'm not having that.
It's tied directly to your account when you login to your pc. Infact there is no way to reset your password on your pc without going through your microsoft account once you link it to use the store.The Windows store uses Microsoft (Xbox Live) accounts. I've had my Xbox Live account for 13 years and used the same account to purchase Gears of War 4 on the Windows Store.
Tell me how my account is somehow tied to my Windows installation? It's quite literally no different than a Steam, Origin, Batttlenet, etc... account.
The only difference is that this platform is managed by the company that creates the operating system it sits on. I guess that fact alone is getting you paranoid about it? I do have to say that the store itself does function rather poorly when it comes up updates and downloads. Took me a while to get Gears of War 4 installed but nothing that I would consider deal breaking by any means.

But it wasn't the store that was trying to make me create an account. It was the game itself. Which wouldn't let me past the title screen otherwise. I decided If they don't want to let me play the game, then there are other games out there, and other stores where games are not locked down by uwx.The Windows store uses Microsoft (Xbox Live) accounts.

I'd do it.......but I'll be playing Project Cars 2 on the PC
I'll probably by both actually, but have a feeling PCars 2 will have more mature oldies like myself
What was you actual problem? I installed GoW4 with no issue. Game downloaded and played fine for me.It's not actually windows 10 is it? It's store only so I'll have to respectfully decline.

Maybe, but that's where I've drawn the line.You'er really making a bigger deal out of that than you need to be. Tying your existing Microsoft account does nothing additionally intrusive to your system. There are some great features that you can't access without a Microsoft Account and you'll miss out on a lot.
If you buy it digitally, then you can play it on both PC and Xbox as long as its on the same Xbox Live account. Not sure how buying the game on Xbox disc works if they provide a cd key or something like that.So in order to play this on PC I buy the Xbox version and it lets me download it onto my computer? Weird.
You can buy it digitally through the Windows Store. The trick is you have to buy it digitally from Microsoft to take advantage of Play Anywhere. You cannot buy a physical copy and play it on both your Xbox and PC.So in order to play this on PC I buy the Xbox version and it lets me download it onto my computer? Weird.

Should check out the PC Gaming subforum every once in a while. We've known this was coming for a long time. Turn 10 also couldn't hold back their excitement about Forza 7, first teasing the game around the time Horizon 3 came out.
Anyone having trouble getting the pc demo to download?
From the win store I can only get to the point of selecting the drive to instal to. After that nothing happens. Tried a few random fixes with no luck.
I was able to instal it to the xbox from the win store page no problem though.
maybe try whats here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...0/4621014f-1b8e-42cf-861a-9f93caa5669c?auth=1I actually deleted the Store app from my installation thinking I'd never need it and now I can't figure out how to get it back. You'd think there would be a way to do that without having to do a system "refresh", but it sure doesn't look like it.
