how do i connect xbox live free to minecraft so i can play with my friends

how so I connect xbox live free to Minecraft so I can play with my friends? I have a Microsoft account but don't know how to connect them

:)

 

If I own Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, can I get it on Xbox One for free?

If I can, how do I play it?

I'm asking mostly because, one of my friends cant join me because of him having Minecraft: Xbox One edition, and not having the Minecraft Xbon Live one.

I think on the Microsoft Store it said If you have Xbox One edition, you can get the Xbox Live one for free, but he doesn't know how to do that, so I wanted to show him how. That is, if I can do so in the first place.

Two of my other friends own Xbox Live edition, and can both join me, while he cant.

I'm also asking because I would like to play Minecraft on my Xbox sometimes, In case I somehow can't on my laptop.

 

Can my Twins Play Minecraft Splitscreen with one Account?

My twin boys love Minecraft and I would love for them to play on a splitscreen so they can play together and with their friends on Xbox LIVE.

We have an HD tv and HDMI cable but I can't locate information on how to do this on Minecraft specifically.

Thanks in advance!
