Broken installation with Minecraft: Xbox One Edition

Hi Katlyn, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition for Xbox One only gives you the ability to install on the Xbox One, unfortunately.

The only edition of Minecraft that allows installation on Windows is Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft for Windows 10.

You can see further information here:

If your friends are able to install Minecraft on Windows, they must have one of the above mentioned editions.

Please let me know if you have any further questions! Thanks!

Minecraft Xbox one edition won't install from disc or launch

Hi there,

Have you hard reset your Xbox and power cycled it to see if Minecraft on Xbox One received an update as well?

I noticed this note on the Mojang support page for transferring worlds on Xbox Consoles: "Please note:
It’s not possible to transfer a world directly from Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition to the new version of Minecraft for Xbox One. To do this, you will need to first transfer the world to Xbox One Edition
and then to the new version of Minecraft."

If I'm not mistaken Minecraft Xbox One Edition was upgraded to the new version of Minecraft with the BTU but based on that note you would have to upload the worlds to the Xbox One edition and then to the newest version of Minecraft on Xbox One. I'm not sure
if this has anything to do with the issue but I figured it was worth noting.

Yes, both my Xbox 360 and Xbox One are fully updated. Minecraft Xbox One Edition or Legacy Edition and the Xbox one Better Together Edition are not the same. The BTU is an inferior version of Xbox One Minecraft Edition based off of the Pocket Edition for
phone. It has extreme lag, chaotic menu system and broken redstone functions. I run Xbox One Edition not the BTU. So transferring to the new version of Minecraft for Xbox One has no relevance to me. They even state you need to transfer it to the Xbox One Edition
(the version I use) first which you can do. But once it is transferred to that edition it can not be used on that same edition.

Yes. My examples are both from Minecraft, as opposed to the xbox one edition. However, at least one of the Xboxes does have the xbox one edition installed too.

As Smwutches stated the Bedrock edition is the upgrade from Minecraft Xbox One edition, the only way to play the Xbox One edition now is if you
install it from a disc.

I believe that this upgrade of minecraft editions is to do with the whole minecraft cross play thing.
