    Microsoft Flight Simulator PC cannot login on new computer but plays fine on old computer


    I purchased MFS from Microsoft store on old PC. Works fine. Bought a new PC and tried to login and MFS does not show up. I have a copy of the digital ownership and it plays fine on old PC but Microsoft says they have no record of me owning it, even though I have it and a receipt. I just want to play the game that I already paid for! What happened to good old discs? Can anybody help, Microsoft will not

    :)

    Using MS Flight Simulator as a teaching aid for aerospace engineering

    Even on the US, MS Flight Simulator is tied to your account, not a certain computer. So you can login with your account to many computers, install MS FS and play it on them (but not at the same time).

    Now I'm not really sure how educational licensing will be handled. Maybe you can buy let's say 50 educational licenses and install MS Flight Simulator on several computers but logged in with the same account and play on the 50 computers at the same time.

    As I said we are only speculating here. Only Microsoft employees can give you an exact answer on volume/bulk licensing.

    Hello, Francisco. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    How is your setup to install MS Flight Simulator? I mean, if you own a flight institution (or aeronautical engineering institution) with computers, you can install and license MS Flight Simulator on these computers and let the students use these computers on your education institution.

    Now if you want to license MS Flight Simulator to be used on your students home computer (which will change like every year or so), it'll be a different situation.

    I think the best option for you is to contact Microsoft about Flight Simulator by submitting a support ticket here (it's the official MS Flight Simulator Support channel):

    Microsoft Flight simulator

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    Answering his question, the Microsoft Flight Simulator game is only available for the new generation of Microsoft consoles, Xbox Series S / X, and also PC. That's why you get this message that the game cannot be played on your device.

    The game was entirely designed for the new generation of consoles and computers.

    You can check out more information about this at the official link below.

    flight simulator and old computer

    you would need at least the min specs here

    you could pick up (hopefully) a cheap used gaming pc with those specs, but if you want top notch graphics for the game and high framerates then you need to lean more to the ideal spec.

    a pc is a pc, any pc can be a gaming pc with the right GPU.
