My account will not load any of my physical CD games, only digital copies....

All I'm saying is that physical copies of games are still being used today; this is why we shouldn't "do away with them" for digital copies. "If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT".

You are more likely to have something terrible happen with a digital version rather than having a physical copy. Physical copies are more stable and are more "insured" as far as protection than a digital copy, which is really just streaming the files right
to your hard drive. With physical, you have all the information conveniently on one disk which you simply have to put into the CD/DVD-Drive. If somethign goes wrong with the digital copy's original download, what are you going to do? You have no way to physically
repair the problem in regards to a physical copy.

This is why having digital copies only and doing away with physical copies altogether would be a terrible idea.

• A physical copy does not require internet
• If marketplace content becomes unavailable you still have a physical copy
  
• They can be found for dirt cheap if you know where to look.
  
• They sometimes appear as amazing collectors editions.
  
• They hold back the progression of the futurist vision of media.
  
• A physical copy can be carried and sometimes played in regions where that content is intended to be censored.
  
• A physical copy can get scratched, broken, lost, or stolen.
  
• Physical copies cannot instant switch between games.
  
• Physical copies require traveling to a store or waiting on delivery to aquire.
  
• Physical copies take up shelf space.
• They require factories and physical resources to produce and contribute to waste in the form of plastic wrapping.
  
• Physical copies rely on a functioning cd drive.
  
• Banned users can still play physical copies.

• Digital copies can be re-downloaded if they currupt.
  
• Digital copies can instant switch between games.
  
• Digital copies do not rely on the cd drive to access.
  
• Digital copies can be aquired instantly without wait or travel.
  
• Digital copies do not take up shelf space.
  
• Digital copies are not impossible to find unlike some rare physical copies of games.
  
• Digital copies are easier for the publisher to maintain control over.
  
• Banned users lose access to their games.
• They are region specific and can maintain better region regulation.
  
• If content is removed from marketplace then access could be lost.
  
• If you do not have internet you cannot buy digital copies.
  
• They cost more than physical copies.

Forza 7 came with my xbox. It is listed as a play anywhere game, so i'm trying to put it on my windows computer since the xbox stopped working. Unfortunately, the store doesn't recognize that i already own the game. Any help?

Do you have a physical or digital copy of Forza 7? The only Xbox One bundles i could find are ones that come with a physical copy of Forza 7.

The reason i ask is because if its a physical copy then this is why its asking you to buy it again for PC. Only the digital copies of eligible games would be play anywhere.

Thanks but i think maybe i didn't make my question clear. I'm not trying to share my games with Frank. Just the opposite. We both want to buy the games separately for ourselves without sharing between the two accounts,

My question is, if Frank buys a physical copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 (of which i already have the digital copy installed on my account), can he install his physical copy on his account without messing up the digital copy on my account or messing up any
of my game saves?

Neither of us have Xbox LIve Gold, BTW. Just the free versions.

Hi EvanBrown85

There is no such option unfortunately. I started converting all my physical games to digital a few years back and the only way I could do it is by selling my physical copies and buying the digital versions on sales
