I agree, you can't install that game on a 150GB hard drive is a bit ridiculous, as you won't fit anything else. My recommendation is that you buy an SSD with 1 or 2 TB that now are not so expensive.... But yes, it seems that the main problem is the storage.

See post 5 - I have loads of space

See post 8. I managed to install it by logging into another MS account then back into my main MS account.
