Game pass on new computer cant install games i had on old computer.

I just got a new computer and am attempting to reinstall some games that I had installed on my old computer. Every time that I try and install one it gives me an error with the code 0x80073CF3. Google has been no help and no idea what else to try.

If you try to download games from the Microsoft Store app does the same error appear?

thanks for the reply, tried all of those and nothing worked. The problem is not that i cant download any game on the xbox app its only those that i had downloaded on my old pc even if i didn't have them installed. I tried other games and they downloaded fine.

How are you, mate?

Follow these steps, if one doesn't work, move on to the other.

1. Open Windows Update and look for updates, update everything, including optional updates. Restart to apply updates and try again.

2. Press Windows Key + i and go to apps, search for ''gaming services'' click ''advanced options'' and then ''terminate, repair and reset. Try installing the game again.

3. Launch PowerShell as an administrator and enter

“get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers”

Restart your PC, open PowerShell as admin again, and enter

“start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN”

The Microsoft Store will open and ask to install Gaming Services, install. Then try installing any game again.

Are you using the same hard drive or external hard drive you used on your old computer?

Do I have to do anything to the games on the old device? Uninstall, etc. or can I just take out the micro SD card from the old computer, put it into the new computer, format the card then install the games to the new device?
