(Disclaimer: I work on the store)It seems Recore is available to pre-load on Windows 10 now.
EDIT: and Forza Horizon 3.

Just to set expectations, a pre-load isn't available yet for any of the games on the Windows Store.
If you pre-order any of the games on Xbox or PC, then on PC you can download a placeholder file. That placeholder is automatically downloaded if you preorder the game on PC, or if you preordered on the website or on Xbox, you can download the placeholder to your PC later by finding the page on the store or going into the "My Library" section of the store (click your profile picture in the upper-right)
That placeholder will be automatically updated to a preload later on if one is made available, and/or the final game once it's released. So right now it's just a few MB in size because it's not the actual content of the game yet.
can you send gifts on the windows store?
will probably get both and my friend his copy of forza
Gifts aren't supported on the Windows Store, and also aren't supported on Xbox. But the cool thing is that since there's finally one universal store across all platforms, if and when it's enabled on one platform, it'll automatically work on the other platform too.
