Questions about Xbox on computer

Hello,

I am getting a new laptop that is powerful enough to play on and I am a Xbox player.

I wish to know if I will be able to play my Xbox game on the laptop using the Xbox app? (Tried to check by myself but got confused.) If yes will I only be able to play the games I got from the market or the one I got on disk too? (As long as I put them in
the laptop of course).

Thank you in advance.

:)

The game saves are separate from the game data, so if you purchase the digital version you should be able to continue the same save.

Thank you a lot!

If I may abuse of your generosity, do you know if buying the game digitally would allow me to play the saved parties from disk games?

Disc games will not work, but if you own any games digitally that are Play Anywhere titles, they will work on the PC as well. You can find a list of Play Anywhere games at https://www.xbox.com/games/xbox-play-anywhere?xr=shellnav

Not exactly they will not work with the Xbox One via the main USB connection used to communicate with the PC. Xbox One isn't a Windows PC so that drivers that enable it to work with a PC or Laptop don't exist for the Xbox One.

They might be able to be made to work if your PC monitor has these things. A HDMI jack and either a 3.5mm stereo audio out or RCA Red and White stereo audio out. If it does then the monitor could decode stereo audio from the HDMI output from the Xbox One
and then you would need a 3.5mm Male to Male stereo cable or a RCA Red and White Male to 3.5mm Male cable to plug the monitor output into the stereo input for auxiliary audio devices on the control pod.

I'm not computer savvy. MS support wants to know about my PC and I need help with a XBox question.
