Minecraft for Windows 10 Code - Microsoft Account Deletion

When you redeemed your Java Minecraft on Mojang, you have gotten a 5x5 code to redeem Minecraft on the Windows 10 store.

This redemption is a separate service of your Mojang account, and it's possible to use a Microsoft Account email that is different from your Mojang account email.

Mojang (which gives you Java Minecraft) is separate from the Microsoft Windows Store App, which uses a Microsoft Account email when you redeemed that 5x5 code.

After redemption of that code, the Windows 10 Minecraft is tied to the Microsoft Account email you used on your Windows 10 PC. From then on, you don't really need the Mojang account anymore, if you only want to play on Windows 10. You will then get the game
from the Windows 10 store only, with the E-Mail account you used on the Windows 10 store during code redemption.

So make sure you are signed in with the Microsoft Account email (which might not necessarily be the Mojang account email) when you use the Windows 10 Store app to re-download your Windows 10 Minecraft again.

Players who already have the previous PC or Mac edition of Minecraft (running on Java) can
download Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition for free.

Note You'll need to get a code from Mojang, the game developer, by signing in to your Mojang account before attempting to redeem your code for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. Otherwise, you
may incur a charge. To get your code from Mojang:

1. Sign in with your Mojang account.
   
2. Under Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, select the link to request a code. Microsoft Windows 10 will open.
   
   Note You'll need to sign in to or create a Microsoft account. If you sign in, use the Microsoft account you use to sign in to your Xbox account.
   
3. If you're running Windows 10, you'll be able to download the game right after redeeming your code. If you're running an earlier operating system, you'll need to come back to Microsoft Store once you're running Windows 10.
   

The code you receive from Mojang will be kept on your account, in case you’re unable to redeem it straight away, or in case you have problems trying to redeem it in Microsoft Store.

Hi Vid30gameMADlol,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue with Minecraft for Windows 10.

Minecraft for Windows 10 is still available for download if you've previously purchased it or redeemed a code; however, it is no longer separately sold and now comes with the

Minecraft for Windows 10 Starter Collection and Minecraft for Windows 10 Master Collection as
it is the base game.

As you've indicated that you redeemed a code for the game, you should be able to go to the Microsoft store while logged into your account, navigate to the game's page and select to download it. You will also want to make sure that you can view the redemption
in the same Microsoft account that you use for gaming on your PC. Check your Xbox purchase history is a great resource for beginning to
locate the code redemption in your Microsoft/Xbox account.

Redeem a gift card or code to your Microsoft account can provide you with help and solutions when redeeming codes for games
and other items, such as: "If this is a Windows 10 game or app, launch the Microsoft Store app on your device and then select >
My Library > All owned."

Give the troubleshooting solutions a try and let us know the results.

I hope that this helps you out.

Is Minecraft for Windows 10 included with the purchase of Minecraft: Java Edition?

Players who have purchased Minecraft: Java Edition before October 19th, 2018 can get Minecraft for Windows 10 for free by visiting their Mojang account. Log into
account.mojang.com, and under the “My Games” heading you will find a button to claim your gift code. If you purchased Minecraft: Java Edition after October
19th, 2018, the button will not be there, so if you’re unsure of when you purchased Minecraft: Java Edition, that’s a good way to check. Pressing the button will generate a token and send you to a Microsoft redemption page.


If you have an older Minecraft account (you still log in with your username), visit
this article to find out about account migration. Once you’ve migrated your account, you will
be able to claim a code for Minecraft for Windows 10.
You must be signed into a Microsoft/Xbox Live account in order to redeem the code. Please note that you cannot move the license once the code has been redeemed. Your code is saved on your Mojang account page for future reference.

I redeemed my code a few years back, have downloaded it many times, but now it says that I do not own the game, and I have to "purchase I the Minecraft: Starter Pack" Please help, this is very frustrating.
