    I purchased some in-app purchases for a game in WinMo 10... Then went back to 8.1

    So was running the WinMo 10 .36 just to test it out and purchased some in app purchases for a game. I used the computer to reset my 640xl to Win 8.1 today and all is good. All good, but in 8.1 the store didn't show me as ever downloading the game with the in app purchases that I bought in...

    Questions from a new to MS user

    Hi everyone. I've just started using MS devices (Lumia 640XL)/software (Windows 10 on Bootcamp) again one week ago. Last time I used anything MS it was when XP was still mid way through its life cycle. These are a few things I just can't find answers to by googling or looking through here...

    [Lumia 640 XL] How is Windows 10 on it?
