Hi, My ISP has been nice enough to uncap me so I can let Steam, etc... update games in my Win10 environment. I thought I would take advantage of that and purchase and download the latest Forza racing game. I bought it via Amazon since Steam does not carry it. It said it was for XBox and Windows 10. I do not want to use it with my XBox One, but for the Win10 dualboot environment on my PC. How do I download it? Very confusing. -pw

Click on the Windows Store live tile, then click on the stick figure at
the top for your account, and you'll see a Redeem A Code option. Then under
Library, the game should show, and there should be an option to choose what
drive to install it on.

I see Forza standard edition for sale but I purchased Forza Horizon 3. I do not see a way to enter my code so I can download the game. By Googling, I see I need Win10 Anniversary edition to run it but I do not have either it or the game installed. -pw

Ok, how are you logging into Windows10? There's a 'local' option, and
one that uses your Microsoft Account: Settings/Account/Info
Also, install the Anniversary update already, it's perfectly stable :)

I bought it from Amazon but they do not have a link to download it but only a link to redeem the code, which I already did. The reviews at GameSpot, PC Gamer, Maximum PC are totally uninformative.

There were two choices: - Redeam the code on the XBox website -Redeam the code on the XBox console I chose the first since I would rather not play it on my XBox1 (old HD TV and I hate the XBox1 interface). "Use prepaid code" That was on 2/14 and I received a "Success!" and "You now own Forza Horizon 3 Deluxe Edition". But it says it will automatically install on my home XBox. Which is false. It does not appear there either. "Redeem your code or gift card." "It will be added to paul@....." which is my MS login. I login to Win10 and it is not there under "My Games" or whatever it is called. Thanks! -pw

Or should at least but I have no idea what goes wrong here for PW. I don't have any titles like this.

You might have created two completely different accounts, one for Windows and a separate one for your Xbox One. If the version of the game you bought only works on the Xbox One then in order to play the game you would need to sign in on your Xbox One using the account you redeemed the code for.
