    Hello there.

    Recently I purchased Sea of Thieves PC edition through the Microsoft store. However, I am thinking of buying a new computer, and I was wondering wether I will keep the game and I will still be able to play it without rebuying it. Thanks in advance,

    George.

    :)

    If I have a game in Microsoft store and I switch to a new computer will I still be able to re-download it?

    Hi,

    Yes you will keep it. Just like other digital stores, Microsoft Store purchases follow you on whatever machine you have. Over a year ago now I built myself a new gaming PC. I just logged in with the same account and all of my games were available to download
    again.

    All you need to do is log in on the new PC with the same Microsoft account you use now.

    Hi George Chainis

    As long as you sign into the Microsoft store with the same account that purchased the game, you will be able to just redownload the game.

    You won't need to purchase it again.

    Hope this helps.

    Cannot configure xbox elite series 2 in Accessories app

    I have 3 computers I used to test this issue. My main computer quickly showed grey box and then back to regular screen. After downloading some other xbox related apps in the Microsoft store, I discovered it was related to my computer using a local account
    and the fact I never logged into the Microsoft Store. I refuse to do this on this computer so I tried a different computer. That computer didn't have the May 2019 update and it specifically told me I couldn't configure it until I did that. I then went to
    my new laptop and tried it. This computer also uses a local account, and has never used the Microsoft store before. I downloaded the app without logging in (I cancel the two sign in attempts and it still downloads and installs fine). When I opened the app,
    it had showed the controller properly and when I hit configure I discovered that the grey box is the REQUIRED xbox live sign-in. You can not configure the controller without being signed into your xbox live Microsoft account. For some reason my main PC is
    unable to figure out I am not signed in properly and just crashes. For the new laptop, I logged into my Microsoft account but selected to only use it for the Store apps, not my general windows login. I was finally able to configure the stupid controller.
