no you will have to buy the game again, but i would suggest avoiding that edition. for the reasons see here.
The Windows 10 edition is for the Microsoft store only. It does not use Steam. Therefore, you can't use the Steam key and you must buy it directly from the MS store.
It comes with After Dark, but is very limited. No workshop, no map editor, no asset editor, files are hidden and encrypted. No easy backup and has connection issues as of last week. I got tired of losing my game, so I'm waiting for them to work out the bugs.
Also, Tantulus Entertainmemt ported it and not Colossal Order. It is the same as the Xbox One edition and not keyboard/mouse freindly. It works fine with keyboard/mouse, it just can takes extra clicks to do things.
It does seem much more optimised than the Steam version, lots less lag and things load up quickly and plays fairly smooth. Likely a lot to do with no Workshop interaction from Steam. It uses a lot less memory. Cities.exe loads up at under 2gb of ram. It will climb as you grow, but you start again, it eill be back at just under 2gb RAM use. Maybe a memory leak?
I enjoyed it very much despite the setbacks. I normally plazy vanilla anyway, so the workshop missing didn't bother me too much, although I couldn't use my info mods to peek on the balance of my city.
But if you already have the game, it will be pointless to buy it. The miggest plus to it is that it doesn't have the workshop to break games every paztch. The downside is also the workshop as you won't get access to the thousands of workshop content available. Hopefully someone can hack them in, if anyone bothers since you have the azbility in the Steam version.

I just bought the game for W10. That game is great. Problem after a week, no possibility to connect to the Windows store cloud and thus no way to play since the game has no local save. Windows got informed but no answers yet
I'm curious, can register the game at this forum? Or does the fact it's not developed by CO mean you need to get tech support somewhere else?
I am not sure what you mean about tech support, but the only I get ask is Windows store and they are slow to answer...
if you can get a refund and buy the Steam version, the windows 10 version is very inferior
Eu tenho o mesmo problema, comprei através da loja Microsoft o jogo cities skyline-windowa 10,e só funcionou 2 semanas. Tento abrir o jogo e solicita para clicar em qualquer tecla e não avança dai, eventualamente ele abre na situação de offline, mas sempre começando de novo a construir a citie , não mais acede ás cidades já desenvolvidas e salas
Yes, you would register here just like you do for the Steam version. This is the Paradox forums. It doesn't matter who sells or develops it.
Same for this. This isn't the CO forums, so you'd get support here as well.
Yes I suscribed and got an answer from Paradox. They told me to reinstall the game. Still not working. I will try to get a refund since I bought the game less than 30 days ago.
it's also on sale at Steam at the moment so you'll get the superior version for a fraction of the cost
Jorge, as I can understand you have exactly the same problem than I have. Paradox informed Microsoft of problem of connection between Cities:Syklines and MS cloud. We have to wait about MS...
