Windows 10: I purchased a movie from Microsoft. How can I watch it on my PC?

I want to watch the movie I purchased from Microsoft on my PC. The movie is “Brooklyn.” I did not receive a confirmation or a web address to access the film. This is very confusing and frustrating

Steps:

   rent option.
2. Login using Microsoft account.
3. Once you have signed in, you will have two option
   to stream or download movies to this device to watch offline.
4. Select download movies to this device to watch offline and click on next.
5. After Choosing the Next option and you will be asked for the payment option.
6. Once the payment it done, open Movies & TV application to download the movie.

You will be able to watch the movie offline from
Movies and TV application. When you rent, the viewing period is 14 days from the time of your order or 24-48 hours from the time you start to watch (depending on the content you select), whichever comes first.

Microsoft Store Digital Movie purchases

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The Microsoft Movies & TV app allows you to watch movies and TV shows purchased from the Microsoft Store on Windows, Xbox and Microsoft.com, as well as movies & TV shows previously purchased on Xbox Video or Zune Marketplace. TV shows can only be purchased,
not rented. If you rent a movie from Microsoft, in most cases you will have 14 days to start watching the movie. And once you start watching, in most cases you will have a 24-hour window to finish watching the movie. After the rental has been viewed, or the
time limits have been reached, the movie will automatically disappear from your collection.



Meanwhile, you can refer the below articles for further information.

Saving movies I have purchased.

Hi Tracy,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

Once you purchase or rent movies from the Store, it will be added to Movie and TV app. So that you can watch them. It will be there forever if you buy the Movies and you need internet connection and a Microsoft account to watch, so you need to download on
the computer to watch offline.
