    Hi, I was wondering in my head since most games from the XBOX Stores were gone, if I had installed a digital game a long ago before it was delisted off the stores, but then later I bought the physical copy of the same games as normal, it wouldn't affect
    me from getting my games uninstalled itself from the XBOX home like I see a few other people on Twitter that experienced it, right. I was told anything I own is for good unless I want to uninstall it. Just wondering cause it's a little confusing. Thanks.

    :)

    if a bluray rom is installed can xbox1 disc be installed on a windows 10 pc

    If the game is part of the PlayAnywhere library and is a digital copy then you will be able to install on a Windows 10 PC.

    Physical copy of games is not able to be installed on a pc unfortunatly.

    Games available for download without purchase

    This is actually normal, believe it or not. The game is just a program, and most games in the market place you can download and install. But to play it you have to have a license. The license comes in two formats, either digital or physical (download
    or disc). If you have a physical copy in the drive or installed on your machine, then you can get the digital version, but if you try and play the digital version without the game in the drive, it shouldn't work. You should get a message along the lines
    of "If you own this game please insert disc or purchase a digital copy to play".

    It's honestly why I always go digital when I can. That way I can take it with me wherever I go. I can go to my buddy's who only has a physical copy, but I can play on my account and don't have to have the disc in to play since I have a digital license
    attached to my gamertag.

    are you digital or physical this gen?

    I still prefer a physical copy of my games.

    I'm sure it stems from most gaming done on PC and wanting physical copy to be able to re-install when things go wrong. So far, with my XBox One, 2 games physical & 2 digital. The digital are the two that came with the "bundle".

    I'm sure most additional purchases will be physical copys when possible

    Installing games

    No matters what digital or physical copy, you need to have the game installed in your console to be able to play it, if its physical copy you will also need the disc, if is Digital you will need internet connection.
