how to get minecraft education on windows 7 without microsoft store

Hi Peter, my name is Oskayra it is my pleasure to answer your question.

Unfortunately no, from experience I too tried all possible solutions and none of them worked, windows 7 stopped working for most games and applications a long time ago.

My only solution was to install windows 10, it is the only way.

Best Regards, Oskayra

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help on playing Minecraft education.

Just a heads up that one of the requirements for you to get the license for Minecraft education is to have a Microsoft 365. School account is only available when you are provided with one from either a camp or a school so you can play the Minecraft education game, that only happens when they have the license for it already.

You cannot get the license for the game without Microsoft 365 unfortunately.

I am actually using the Windows 7/8 Minecraft launcher. Should I use the Microsoft store version?

Hello, Derrick.

We appreciate you posting in Microsoft Community.



It has come to my attention that you wish to register an account for Minecraft Education Edition.



Minecraft Education Edition is quite a bit different from the general version of Minecraft, and it will be more complicated to deploy and register.

What you need will be the official professional instructions for Minecraft Education Edition:

How to Set Up an Account and Profile in the Support Center – Minecraft Education



If you need more help, contacting Minecraft Education Edition's official support directly would be a good option:

You can find the Support Center in the upper left corner of the page above.



Feel free to let me know if I did not make it clear or you need more help.



Best Regards.
