I have heard the 'new' unencrypted type of install is now preferred by MS / Asobo. 
I haven't seen any official quotes / comments, but if they have changed it then they must have done it for a reason.

Has anybody done this (apparently performed using the Xbox app)?  And if so, what was your experience? 
Can you simply tell it to use the old location (in my case, F:\MSFS), or does it need a new one to enable it to transform the installation over properly?
Also, it doesn't need to redownload everything does it?  My internet speeds are relatively slow so hopefully it just transforms the files / data you already have.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

See this video from when they announced the new features for Xbox Insiders:

https://youtu.be/ea4-mxDSz6I?t=117

 

Main features are:

- choose where to install PC games (select drive, select custom folder)

- have access to local files for many PC games (can edit+move files, mod games, etc.)

I gave it a new folder location, and it moved about 120GB of data on my PC, without downloading anything.

Read through this post, towards the end for details.

thanks bert.  So if mine looks like this I guess I have the modern version already?

Should be interesting at update time to see what happens. 

 

 

 

You need to check the Files tab.

I did.  That just has check for updates / browse.  Then below that change drive or verify and repair.

For those who are lost in the XBox app's UI..

1. Click on the MSFS picture on the left (under Installed)

2. To the right of the green PLAY button is a "..." button, click on it and select "Manage"

3. If this gives you an ENABLE button, you can unencrypt the core files, if not, you already have the new version.
