How do I remove MSFS 2020 from a PC? Bought from the MS Store. I don’t mean uninstall , I mean return that so I can install on another PC. (so Ms doesn’t count that old install)

Also (I’m windows 11 pro) when I started to install it on my new pc, I get “Install this content with Xbox app” … I don’t have an xbox or desire to chat with xbox. It only gives me a launch option , not one to install directly to my PC without xbox.

It’s pretty basic, just login to new system with your same account.

don’t we have 2 installs available? So I want to remove 1 and delete from my PC.

The last time I tried to install my copy directly from the MS-Store, it kept failing. I had to figure out that Microsoft demands that the Xbox app be used to download it. I installed that, and everything went smoothly after that. I don’t use an Xbox, or chat with Xbox users. But I needed to install the copy of MSFS that I own, so I had to do what they required me to do.

There is no limit to the amount of machines you can install MSFS on.
The only restriction is that you can only log into one at a time.
You will be asked, when you start the sim, if you want to use your settings from the previous install, as your settings are saved to the “cloud”.
