    Microsoft store says I don't own Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, despite playing the game...


    I purchased Minecraft Java Edtion in 2014. I claimed the Windows 10 Bedrock Edition for free when free codes were given to those who owned Java Edition. I have played Windows 10 Bedrock Edition previously on my old laptop and had no issues whatsoever. I even have multiple achievements for the game.

    However, when attempting to play on my new PC, the Microsoft store says I do not own the game and have to purchase it. I have the same associated email for my Minecraft Java account, Minecraft Bedrock account and Windows 10 login. Upon checking my billing history for my Microsoft account, there is nothing to do with Minecraft. I have recently migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft account but I did not check before whether I could play Bedrock Edition. I checked on my old laptop and it also said I don't own Minecraft Bedrock. I am trying to recover access to my Bedrock Edition Minecraft account.

    :)

    I can't install minecraft dungeons, but was able to buy it

    Having an up-to-date version of Windows 10 does not guarantee that this game actually works on this computer. The system specifications must match at least the minimum requirements.

    The Minecraft Dungeons Launcher is not the same version as the windows 10 microsoft store edition, that's why you're being sent to the minecraft website to buy it, since you don't own this version. If you go to https://www.minecraft.net/store/minecraft-dungeons-windows,
    you'll notice that there are three options to buy;

    • Windows 7 and up: This is the Launcher Edition,
      which you probably do not own.
    • Windows 10: This is the Microsoft Store Edition,
      which you probably own.
    • Hero Edition - Windows 10: Also the version from the Microsoft store, but the premium edition.

    Also note that the microsoft store also shows two versions of Minecraft Dungeons, additionally to the other versions that can be purchased on the minecraft website;

    • Windows 10 Edition
    • Xbox One Edition

    Make sure to have selected the correct edition of it, which is here: https://www.microsoft.com/p/minecraft-dungeons/9P8MK4NC0LJB

    My account was charged for game pass for pc and it says i have it but i cant play Minecraft Java

    As previously noted. Microsoft owns Minecraft, however Minecraft Java is not a Microsoft or Xbox game. The PC equivalent is “Minecraft Windows 10 edition” the Java version is a separate game not part of Minecraft bedrock, their-for not cross play with other devices.

    Xbox owns W10 edition not Java edition

    Minecraft will not open via launcher, only through microsoft store.

    Hello mimim2,

    The Minecraft launcher you are referring to is only for the Java edition of Minecraft. The Java edition and Windows 10, are two separate games. In order to launch and play Minecraft from the launcher you are using in the last image, you must buy the Java
    edition from the site, not the Windows 10 version. Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft. Annoying I know, but when Microsoft acquired Minecraft they released
    their own version of the game on their platform. Hope this helps

    Is there any way that I can do to purchase Minecraft Windows 10 Edition? I can only go to the local Retail Stores and the only available Giftcard is the Google Play Giftcard.

    don't believe that Minecraft Windows 10 Edition is available on the google play store as they are android games and not PC games.
