    How do I get Minecraft back after switching Laptops?


    After transferring Laptops and using the same Microsoft account, I am unable to open Minecraft Launcher. this happens whenever I press play on the game, and when I tried resetting the store nothing changed. I already bought the game on my last computer.

    How do I get Minecraft back after switching Laptops?

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello WaffleFoxes, in your new laptop have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 22H2.

    See which version of Windows 10 you have

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/see...

    Updates are often seen as optional.

    Also, make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed, it works with the Xbox App.

    Hello again, the strangest thing about the error message is that it says the license is expired.

    You've already migrated your Minecraft account to Microsoft, if yes, there may have been a problem at the time of migration, ideally in this case would be to contact Mojang's customer service so they can help you.

    how do I get Minecraft back?

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you want to play Minecraft however you are asked to buy it again.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Kindly verify your game purchase to your account by checking your Order history here: https://account.microsoft.com > Order history.

    Once you see the game there you should have the option to install the game.

    It is the games license that'll enable you to install and then play the game.

    To install the game once the license is verified, go to Store> Search for "Minecraft" and you should have the option to "Install"

    Thank you for your cooperation.
