    new laptop and unable to access old apps


    I recently got a new laptop. I have an account on my old laptop for X-Box Console Companion. It did not transfer to the new machine. I am not a serious gamer, but I like the solitaire collection & have bought a membership to be ad-free. On my new machine,
    the only X-Box that pops up is X-Box Live. It has given me a user name from long ago. I cannot get into the other account. I can find no articles that address this issue, no help screens, and -- of course -- no live help. Does anyone have any experience similar
    to this? How can I talk to an account manager?

    :)

    Hi,

    It requires Microsoft Account to sign into Xbox Companion app and play Windows Games. Therefore, You will need to sign with the same account that you used to purchase Solitaire membership; into your new laptop. It does not need any kind of transfer.

    How Do I Get New Userid on Same Laptop to Access Games

    I'm migrating from old email to a new Outlook one. Both users are signed on this laptop. If I look at the installed apps on the outlook email, it doesn't show the same apps as the old email. There are 5 Microsoft games that don't appear on the new outlook apps list plus a G5 game and a couple of other apps.

    Do I have to do another install even though they are physically on the same laptop?

    Old laptop crashed. Got new laptop

    Hello marting_589,

    Couple of things:

    1. Accounts cannot be linked according to this article, but you can change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account by reviewing the section "I want to add a new email address or phone number."

    3. We always recommend changing your password if you believe an account has been compromised.

    Please let me know if this answered your question by selecting "Yes" below. :)

    Tetris Effect Connected: A network error occurred. Please check your internet connection. Can you help to resolve this?

    Thanks again.

    Somewhat reluctant to change the router settings, I decided to dig out my old laptop, installed the Xbox app and tetris app onto it. It worked. Good news as it shows it must be a config issue on the PC itself - the laptop was tested on the same network.

    Any other suggestions on modifying settings on the PC itself to get the game working?
