If you've already downloaded a game in the Windows Store, you're pretty much out of luck. The Microsoft Store won't recognize the files and it won't have the appropriate license.

But even if you do take ownership and give your account full access rights-on both the source and destination PCs-and then copy the files over, there's a problem. The files themselves are initially owned by the TrustedInstaller user, and you probably don't want to take ownership as it can screw things up. Or at least, I couldn't get it to work after much effort. Do you want to transfer an existing game download from one PC to another, without downloading the game again? Too bad! You can't do it. Microsoft Store: And finally, the black sheep of digital software platforms known as the Microsoft Store (or formerly, Windows Store). Yes, this is a pain in the butt compared to Uplay or GOG, but at least it's possible. Whether your cloud saves will come along for the ride is another story. It can take several minutes on a slower drive to validate the files, but eventually the game should be available to play. You should see the game begin validation of files-open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Esc) and look at the Performance tab, and your network connection should show very little activity while your storage drive (C:, D:, or whatever) should show a heavy workload.

Basically, find the game folder on the new PC where EGS started to download the files, and look for an ".egstore" folder, and then within that should be an "Installation" folder.

Once the install/download process starts, let it grab the first 20MB or so and then pause it, and then exit the Epic Games Launcher.

Go to your library, find the game you want to transfer from the other PC, and click the Install button.

First, get the Epic Games Launcher installed on the new PC, log in, and get the confirmation email code for your account (which can sometimes take several minutes to arrive). Epic Games Launcher: This one will involve more work, but if you're familiar enough with PCs and Windows Explorer, it's possible to skip a full second (or third…) download of any game on EGS.
