Minecraft, Gamepass, won't let me install my purchased version

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Kindly check out this subreddit article from Minecraft;

A new Launcher is being offered for download which supports Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. Unless you have such a subscription we are advising for the present not to install this new Launcher

If you are having issues installing this new Launcher for Windows 10/11, or after installation you are unable to log in (e.g. it is apparently unavailable on your Windows Store account): please download and install the older Launcher marked as Windows 7/8 from this page - https://minecraft.net/download

The new Launcher for Windows 10/11 has only recently been released, and judging by many posts on the subreddit it is not working correctly for some users. We recommend using the above mentioned older version for Windows 7/8 until these issues are resolved.

If you have successfully installed the new Launcher please see this FAQ https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

You will need to either purchase the PC version of Minecraft or subscribe to GamePass

All Minecrafts are separate purchases

I also bought the gamepass recently and it won't let me install the games giving me an error

did you get minecraft from gamepass or did you purchase the game, if from gamepass then it won't play as you are no longer subscribed to gamepass.

Did you previously install the gamepass version? I have purchased titles that I downloaded on gamepass, where I had to reinstall the non-gamepass version to make it work.
