Can I use my normal Microsoft Account password to download MSFS 2020 from Microsoft Store?

Hi there Ray, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Yes, the password for the Microsoft Store is the same as your Microsoft account password because they are essentially the same. Just make sure to sign in to it using the same Microsoft account with which the game was originally purchased, as mentioned earlier by SwordofWhedon.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

Yes ad long as that's the account you used for the purchase

I play it on PC.

Downloaded the game from Xbox as I can't download it from the Microsoft store.

I have the disk version but then too I still get this error.

Only on MSFS 2020 does it happen. The rest I can play normally.

I tried every solution that I can find online including the forums here.

good night

First you need to uninstall the game through steam, and then install it from the microsoft store.

If you have already made the purchase through the microsoft store, confirm here:

I tried the following

Here are the steps I followed

1. Remove MSFS 2020 from steam

2. Delete the steam account on the steam web page

3. Uninstall steam on my PC

4. Go to MSFS store and buy MSFS 2020

5. Install MSFS 2020

6. Launch by double clicking the application.

-- When I did this I got an error about this gamertag already connected to some other or something like that. ---

Did I miss something?

I can also confirm this worked for me on PC. I downloaded the XBOX app via the store.

Then, in store, clicked the three dots.

Then "downloads and updates" and sure enough there was an update for MSFS 2020 1.19.9.0. This was 507.0MB.

I then started MSFS 2020 which went to its own install manager and showed me the "Standard Content" mandatory update which was 108.12MB. The total download, however, was 3.19GB.

I then downloaded all available updates in content manager.

Once all this was complete I quit to desktop and restarted MSFS 2020 without issue.

I think it's VERY strange to need to install the XBOX app for any updates to show in the PC's Microsoft store!!
