A friend gifted me Minecraft for Windows 10 but I cant use it

My friend recently got an Xbox gift card for his birthday, and he wants to use it to buy Minecraft Realms Plus. He plays on MCPE, is there any way for him to redeem it?

Hello Ella!

If your friend would like to redeem a gift card - try heading over to
here. but unfortunately, you cannot buy items with an Xbox gift card on a iOS or android device. Try buying it on a Xbox!

If my friend redeems the gift card in the link you sent, will he be able to redeem it on mcpe, or does it have to be on Xbox?

Unfortunately,

He would have to use an Xbox or a Windows 10 PC with Minecraft for Windows 10 Installed.

I am trying to redeem a Minecraft windows 10 edition key from the Mojang website.

This is the prompt I am trying to redeem from:

Minecraft for Windows 10

You bought Minecraft: Java Edition during a period of time when Minecraft for Windows 10 was included for free. Claim your redeemable gift code by clicking the button below and follow the instructions. As you
might have guessed, Minecraft for Windows 10 can only be played on Windows 10.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It allows for users who have purchased the java edition of the game to then redeem a code for the windows 10 edition of the game.

This is the error message that pops up:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error! It looks like we've temporarily run out of gift codes for Minecraft for Windows 10. Don't worry though, more codes should be on their way. Please check back later!

Thanks for any help!

My friend gift me minecraft but his region and i are different.
I don't know to able to accept the gift code.

You cant. Your friend will have to request a refund for the code and purchase a code for you that is meant for your region. The region of the code must match the region of your account.

Hi Note,

We recommend to check your
order history even if it was a gift, the code or game will show Purchased or redeemed on your account. If you do not see the purchase or redemption of a code then most likely it was on a different account. Are you signed into the new PC with the same exact
account you used on the old PC?

Thanks,

Brad

The e-mail and microsoft account is the very same I've been using several years by now, I haven't created another one at all, so it is the same, but in the microsoft's order history doesn't show anything.

But if I go to the Mojang's order history, I have this:

'' Minecraft for Windows 10

You bought Minecraft: Java Edition during a period of time when Minecraft for Windows 10 was included for free. If you haven’t already redeemed your gift code, get your copy by clicking on the “Redeem” button
below and follow the instructions. As you might have guessed, Minecraft for Windows 10 can only be played on Windows 10.

I erased the Gift code, but I have it there. I click the redeem button but it does nothing, it takes me to the Microsoft's website but nothing, takes me to this page: '' https://redeem.microsoft.com/?mstoken= -
- - - - - - '' and again, there is the gift code, but as I mentioned, the page remains blank, it only shows me the options on top of the site (Profile, my info, privacity and such).

hi, well i realize that these tutorials are for minecraft launchers windows 10, and the xbox identity provider app i was triying to say that THESE tutorials required that, but when i installed the minecraft launcher windows 7 in windows 10 and i logged with a microsof account, it redirect me to the xbox app, but in the windows 7 pc is stuck in the loading screen, and the xbox app is for windows 10, BUT i realize that the app says that i cant use xbox in windows 7 after the march 2019 update, so that means i should install a older version of xbox or i should do what did you say?
