Hello, bought & played the game in 2020 when it came out (birthday present to me). I’ve played it off and on for the past couple of years, but just got a new computer. I got a new outlook address for this PC (old one had a gmail address which I used to buy MSFS2020). Am I able to swap my old gmail to my new outlook and re-DL MSFS2020 onto my new PC? If so, how do I go about doing this?
P.S. I love flying the big heavies with cargo skins, and may or may not practice landing at their actual hubs.
Hello IIAV8II
Welcome to MSFS. I’m on XBox X. You should be able to just switch to new PC ! Sign into your old account(gmail)

Thank you for the welcome. When I tried to do this, it seemed to conflict with my PC account (outlook) vs my old account (gmail) when I wanted to download it from the store. Not sure how to work around that. I’d say I’d just wait for MSFS2024, but that appears to be a good year away.
Ok. Cancel account. Start a new account.

Welcome to the forums @IIAV8II! I’ve moved your posts and the replies to a new topic into the Tech Talk so others may be able to help you. Cheers!
Just change the microsoft account old email to your new email. Your purchases are linked to the account ID, not to the email address. You can still keep an alias in the microsoft account, so that your old email still works as email account itself, in case you want to keep it to receive mails there. But to login into microsoft you will need to use your new email address.
Cheers
