My motherboard or possibly CPU failed and I had to renew. As I had to do this I upgraded to components shown in my Windows Build/Version below.
The "new" PC was able to boot into Windows 11 (which I had upgraded to some weeks before hardware failure) from the original system disk. All apps and data were available as before - except for Flight Simulator 2020. Start - Flight Simulator fails saying "Can't open ... app not found ... storage device missing or not connected". Looking for it in Programs and features confirms it is not there, nor is it in either Program Files folders on my system drive. The Disk 1 of the program is in the CD drive.
I tried to re-install from the CD by running Setup.exe but all that happened is that the Microsoft Store was displayed and then nothing.
I assume that this is all due to the original installation thinking it has been installed on a second machine. Question is how do I reinstall it?
