You got it, took me a while to figure it out, ( read that as search google to find out what to do..)
The main game is downloaded, how you install the expansion pack (hot wheels dlc) I'm not sure.

Edit; go to 'Games' then under 'Apps' the DLC should show and you can install it from there.
 
Okay well i finally managed to install Forza Horizon 3 but the whole setup is just appauling.
I have an XBOX app, which i login to, but there is nowhere to register a code for Windows 10...nowhere at all. I later find that you have to go to the XBOX ONE page (which is not a pc) And register the code there, as its a crossover product.

Upon registering the product it doesn't appear in my games library anywhere, it fails to tell me i own it from the XBOX APP ive just had to use, so then have to open up a second app MICROSOFT STORE, and login to that using my Microsoft account login, to where finally it states that i own the game for installation. What the hell Microsoft?

Maybe because the store app is where all that is managed since that is where you purchase all your UWP games and apps (and is where you redeem all your codes).

Shame, it's a fun game. I picked it up post Deadpool movie when it reappeared on Steam... unsurprisingly. Wonder if that'll happen again post Deadpool 2?

As said, you just needed to do it all through the Windows Store. Easy.

Borderlands 2 GOTY edition £7.69 on steam.

Never played any of it so is it worth it or not?

If you like a big varied FPS shooter with lots of loot 'n' leveling, it's great. It's an adventure, it doesn't take itself seriously, it's a lot of fun, even in single player. Different areas feel different, so as you move on through the game you don't get bored. To be honest, it's a bit of a gaming masterpiece in a lot of ways.
