    I have a main microsoft account on which I've played Minecraft for years. Now I have a new microsoft account on the same computer(win 10 laptop) on which I wish to have a separate Minecraft user. It does not have access to the Minecraft content I won and I understand why, as its a different user, but when I try to buy a new 'copy' for that new account, I get a message "You already own this" from the store app thing, and it refuses to make the purchase. So how do I get Minecraft to work on the new account?

    :)

    I have two microsoft accounts. One owns minecraft, the other is new. I tried buying minecraft for the new one but can't but also can't play?

    sign in to the store with the old account, download minecraft and then sign out and back in with the new account, then you can play minecraft without repurchasing it.

    Minecraft Java Edition disappeared from my Microsoft account

    Yes, that's fine. I have two Minecraft accounts, and two Microsoft accounts to go with them. However, only one of the Microsoft accounts is showing that it has a Minecraft account (that being the latest account that I brought). The other one is not. The two accounts are also completely separate, and have nothing to do with each other. I definitely migrated Minecraft to the correct account, and as I said, it did work initially. I have also tried logging in with my original Mojang account, before I migrated, but that doesn't work either. I have checked all of these accounts.

    Minecraft account stolen

    To clarify, the account was definitely migrated to a microsoft account, but it's been a minute since i logged on so just in case i tried logging on with every e-mail adress i had. In the end there was two e-mail adresses with existing microsoft accounts that simply made a new profile in minecraft and didn't log into the bought account (which is displayed on my launcher, the one i can't access) and two e-mail adresses that said their respective microsoft accounts didn't exist, but one of those e-mails (the ones whose microsoft accounts didn't exist) has the transaction reciept, and i assume i kept the minecraft account tied to the google account i used to buy the game (since the two existing microsoft accounts do not register the bought minecraft account). So now im not sure which microsoft account was tied to the minecraft profile, which is mostly the reason as to why im not sure where to ask for help.

    I can't access my migrated minecraft account

    I have a similar issue. I had already migrated my account months ago and due to inactivity I was logged out. When trying to log back in with my Microsoft account, none of the emails I've tried are logging into the correct account I migrated with. I have no idea what email I used to create the Microsoft account I migrated with as I have tried every email I can think of. The other Microsoft accounts the emails log me in with just create new migrated accounts which tell me I need to purchase Minecraft as I do not own it, despite me buying it 2 years ago and playing it with no issues up until now. I don't want to buy the game again as I know I already own it, I just don't know how to access the account I own it on again.
