Do you want to transfer an existing game download from one PC to another, without downloading the game again? Too bad! You can't do it. Or at least, I couldn't get it to work after much effort. The files themselves are initially owned by the TrustedInstaller user, and you probably don't want to take ownership as it can screw things up.
But even if you do take ownership and give your account full access rights—on both the source and destination PCs—and then copy the files over, there's a problem. The Microsoft Store won't recognize the files and it won't have the appropriate license.
If you've already downloaded a game in the Windows Store, you're pretty much out of luck. Your only option is to download the entire game, again, on another PC.
That might not be such a horrible thing if you're dealing with Candy Crush Saga, but the bigger games like Forza, Sea of Thieves, and Gears can easily register at more than 50GB. There is a sort of workaround if you haven't yet downloaded the game and you know you want to have it on multiple PCs. This old Forza Horizon 3 Reddit thread has the details, which I'll summarize here. First, you need an application to monitor network traffic, and the free utility Fiddler is recommended.
I did this for Gears of War 5 and got a link that was at assets1. Anyway, grab that URL and then you'll probably want to paste it into a file downloading utility. Many games are quite large—Gears of War 5 checks in at 66GB—so this can take a while. Once the download was finished, I ended up with a single massive file, named "Microsoft. The final step is to install the application via PowerShell. You should see a progress bar across the top of the PowerShell screen indicating installation progress.
Obviously, a slower drive will take much longer to complete the installation. It will say something about "discovering existing game files" paraphrasing. Per page: 15 30 Date Posted: 5 Feb, am.
