I am not able to re-download Minecraft Java Edition onto a new computer

Be sure to be logged with the account that you used to migrate your Mojang account in the Xbox app and the Microsoft store app, as this only happens if you are using a different Microsoft account, you don't use the login with Microsoft option on the launcher or the migration process wasn't completed, more details here

Thanks Ricardo, but I downloaded the launcher and from the Microsoft store and used my migrated Microsoft account, but it is still telling me that I have to re-buy Minecraft.

Hi ShulkMM! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

You need to download the Minecraft launcher from the Microsoft store/Xbox app, inside the launcher you must login with the Microsoft account you used to migrate the Mojang account

Hi ID, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

No, if you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4 and link your Microsoft account with your PS4 account, it will not sync the purchase with the accounts. Minecraft Bedrock purchases are tied to the platform on which they are made. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PC, you will only be able to play it on PC. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4, you will only be able to play it on PS4.

However, there is an exception to this rule. If you buy Minecraft Java Edition on PC, you will also be able to play Minecraft Bedrock on your mobile device. This is because Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock are compatible with the "Minecraft Live" feature.

If you just want to play the Minecraft you paid for on your PC, you don't need to buy Minecraft Bedrock for PS4. You can download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition from the Minecraft website.

Here are some steps to download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition:

Visit the Minecraft website.
Click on the "Download Minecraft" button.
Select "Minecraft: Java Edition".
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the download.
Once you have downloaded Minecraft: Java Edition, you will be able to play it on your PC.

I hope my answer was helpful and clarified your doubts. do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other problem. have a nice day.

When you had the game on your previous computer was it downloaded from the Microsoft Store or was it the Java edition from the Minecraft website?
