Microsoft Gamepass and Forza 5
Discussion
You don’t have 1000GB of memory, that might be your storage?
Memory is usually 4/8/16GB Forza has a minimum requirement for 8gb recommends 16gb. Always check the spec before buying a game.

OP from the looks of your PC in your other thread you
don’t have a graphics card. Forza is a graphically demanding game so won’t work well on integrated graphics.
I also seem to remember you were given 8GB of RAM but could have had 16GB for free. I don’t know why this wouldn’t have been included but as you are on integrated graphics which uses RAM the more you have the better - but you’ll still be massively limited not having a dedicated graphics card.
With all this drama you’re having I don’t know why you aren’t asking for advice before you buy something. If you had said you wanted to play Forza you would have had appropriate advice, but it seems like you try to do everything on the cheap, so this is what you end up with. Did you even tell the PC builder you used you wanted to play games on it?
Forza is also a big game so unless you have full fibre straight to the PC (not a weak WiFi connection) then yes, it’s a multi hour download.
ETA looks like you were ignoring advice in the last topic so perhaps this just a wind up?

It's ill informed but you can learn from it at least. You can't ask for a PC to do basic tasks and then expect it to do something demanding. If it would work then there wouldn't be more expensive options. You're probably here because you like cars. You wouldn't buy a Fiat 500 and then ask what you've done wrong as you've just been spanked by a 458 on track.

If Windows detects Bluetooth hardware, it will put a Bluetooth icon in the notification area of the task bar for you to turn on/off connect/disconnect to your heart's desire.Did your build not come with wifi on the motherboard (or via an add-in card), as these usually include Bluetooth? If not, I assume you've connected it to the internet via a physical ethernet cable?
The alternative option here is if you have bought game pass ultimate, you can play the game (and a fair few others) through Xbox cloud gaming.
You don't have to download the game to disk and a graphics card isn't required, basically you are streaming it, so you get up and running straight away. I actually play Forza on a £150 Acer Chromebook when I'm away from home. Runs decent enough, but you will require a good internet connection.

As soon as you hit download the software starts to prep the storage for the full amount it needs (which was more than your laptop has) and with only 4gb of ram it will have s
t itself basically.I have 30meg fibre broadband and 32gb of ram and something as big as Forza was around a 5 hour download.
Both for your laptop and desktop build, cloud gaming is your best option because neither are good enough at present to run games like Forza off disk. The laptop never will be, but a graphics card could be added to your new tower which may get you going depending on the rest of the spec (looking at the cooler it's an AMD APU of some description)...and you should totally get the extra ram regardless. It's a no brainer.

Your connection speed must be sub par to say the least. I had the entire game downloaded and running in 25minsOne possible way of speeding it up would be connecting your console to the router with RJ45 (Cable ethernet) instead of wireless if you haven't already.
