How can you download the same BF game to two different computers ?? Can each computer have its own account ?? And if so, could someone please tell me how one goes about acquiring different accounts for different computers Thanks, Mad

You can definitely download the same game to different computers but not at the same time as far as I know. If one is on your Windows 7, you just go into your account on Windows 10 and download it there if you also want it there.
But, I don't believe you can play the game through both computers. I mean, you can play it on both computers at the same time but not the same game. It would be playing the same game on two different computers. (You cannot start it on Windows 7 and then continue it on Windows 10. You would have to restart the game from the beginning.)

Currently, games I download from BF go to a specificly designated location on an external drive connected to my Win7 machine. So I presume, then, they would go to another specifically designated location on my Win10 machine - if I had an account for each machine. My main question is how to open a second account ?? And can I use the same email address for both ?? (I wouldn't attempt to play the same game on the two different machines at the same time, oldbroad. Even my scant techie know how would deem that to be impossible )

If you own a game, you can download it to two different computers without having to have a second account. I do it all the time, downloading to my Surface tablet. Just go to your purchase history and download.
Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!

Thank you ALL for your responses. MUCH appreciated As I understand it then, I don't need a second BF account to download games (I already own) to my Win10 machine rather than my Win7. (I, too, have a KVM arrangement .. Incorporating monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers between Win10, Win7 and WinXP.) But I WOUID have to change the download destination location of a game any time I switched to one or other of my machines. Is that right ?? (Sorry for the "shouting" but I can't make italics work - as an alternative - on this iPad.) Thanks, Mad 🙂
