It can be downloaded through the Steam client or the Xbox App.

You would need a pretty powerful laptop to run it though. If it's not up to scratch the cheapest option might be to get an Xbox Series S and play it on that.

Yep, Xbox Series S or X. You can get 3 year game pass ultimate sub too, with flight sim included for about 120 quid.

Basically Netflix for games. The above steps describe how to get 3 years subscription for about 120 quid.

If that's too messy for you and you just want flight sim you could buy the game outright.

Regarding hardware Xbox Series S is the cheapest way to play. Followed by Series X. Series X has better graphics, but maybe overkill for what you want. It's harder to get right now, but better value overall as it has better hardware and more storage space.
