    Can't Install Minecraft


    Hey there, I bought Minecraft in 2011 and have used the old install I had of it and I didn't notice the migration emails back in 2023.
    I recently performed a reinstall and discovered that I can't actually reinstall the game again as I missed the "Account Migration" moment so none of my accounts have the game logged in the account game library.

    From the "Minecraft purchase complete" email from back in 2011
    "Your user name is MrMagicHopper
    Your transaction ID is 536789568"


    I'd really like to be able to reinstall Minecraft again, properly, so I can play the game I bought ages ago once again please.

    Kind Regards,

    Xander

    :)

    Can't install Minecraft

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    These steps can help you, give it a try.
    Check for updates on Windows Update, update everything including optional/additional updates.
    1. Logout from Xbox app and Microsoft Store app
    2. Look for the Xbox app and Microsoft Store app in the Windows menu, right-click, click app settings and then click terminate, restore and reset.
    3. Clear the store cache type ''wsreset'' in the Windows bar, run as admin, and wait for the screen to close and open the store automatically.
    4. Open the Microsoft Store app, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner>downloads updates>get updates and update everything.
    5. Restart your PC, log in to both apps and see if that solves the problem.

    can't install minecraft

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today Rezi

    May I know which troubleshooting steps you have done so far?

    In the meantime try this:

    I see, let's try this mate:

    First uninstall actual minecraft.

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

    Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Finally do this:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

    Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and install minecraft again

    what to do if Microsoft store says you own this game when u don't own the game and wont let u install it

    Hi

    Are you talking about Minecraft for PC or Minecraft for Xbox? These games are separate purchases (in effect, separate games). If you purchased for console, you can't install to Windows or vice-versa.
