Hello,
I bought some songs at the Microsoft Store years ago, back when the store still sold music (around 2015, I bought it with a Windows 8.1 machine). I couldn't find the Music section anymore in the store, nor can I find any features resembling "music store" in Groove Music app. I wonder if it's still possible to download the music I bought.
Currently I'm using an entirely different machine running Windows 11 but still logged in to the same Microsoft Account I bought the music years ago.

Or maybe all is lost and there's no way for me to download them?

Use the Groove Music app on your Windows 10 PC to download your music. You'll need to log-in to the app with the same account you used to purchase the music.

there is a new media player, it might take over from Groove on win 11 - https://www.windowscentral.com/goodbye-groove-music-new-media-player-rolling-out-windows-11
I noticed I got it last week. its not very smart, its missing most of my music.

I still haven't got the updated Media Player app (it's still Groove Music), probably still waiting to get updated.
Where exactly do I sign in on the Groove app?

EDIT :
Bad luck. I managed to sign in through the Groove Music app, but nothing got downloaded. I checked the "order history" within the app settings and it took me to my Microsoft account page, and there's only my software / apps orders, no music. Looks like I'm out of luck this time, unfortunately (I've browsed around, nothing there has anything to do with "music").

Well that's a bummer

I think there were warnings about the music store to download any purchased music to keep locally as they were not making it available anymore.
