    Minecraft download on second pc

    Hi Chris, thanks for the response.

    When signing into the store it doesn't recognise that I have already bought and owned the title. It asks me to buy it.

    Regards,

    Problems with getting java edition due to family settings

    You don't need to buy the bundle if you already own Minecraft for Windows PC.

    If it's asking you to buy the bundle it means that the license for the game is not detected by the system.

    Can you please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and check if you can see the transaction for the game Minecraft for Windows PC.

    Purchased Minecraft Without Signing in to Microsoft Account

    My son purchased the Minecraft Java and Bedrock edition from the Minecraft website. He purchased it without signing in to his Microsoft account.

    Now, when he's trying to download the game, it is asking him to "Buy" it again.

    Please help. It already deducted the amount from my card.
    He had to have signed into some sort of Microsoft account even if it were a different one than his usual Microsoft account.

    I just checked and tried going to minecraft.net as if i were going to buy the game and it wouldnt let me do so unless i signed in with an existing Microsoft account or created a new one.

    Is there any possibility he could've accidentally been already logged into a different Microsoft account and not realized it (where the browser saved a previous login) when he went to make the purchase?

    How do I START Fallout 4?

    Now, when I put the disc in, I am asked ''do you own this game'' before being directed to the Xbox store to BUY IT! This is really the worst gaming experience I have ever had, not only can I not play the game, Microsoft as asking me to buy a game I have
    already bought.

    Thanks for the replies chaps but I guess its time to pack up the Xbox one and try to get a refund, playing a game shouldn't take over 24 and then ask you to buy something you already bought, I have signed into my friends Xbox one and it works perfectly,
    with the disc so it isn't that.

    Sigh.....waste of time.
