Minecraft Win10 Beta Redeemed To Wrong Windows 10 Account

Hello Char,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We do not send the codes for the Windows 10 edition. These come from Mojang. Here is the steps on how to claim the Windows 10 version.

1. Go to minecraft.net

2. Login with your MC Java account.

3. Click big green "Buy Minecraft" button.

4. You will get a screen saying: You already own Minecraft, and below that, in small text, a link provided to claim your Win10 edition.

5. Follow that link and provide your Win10 (Microsoft) account.

6. Open MS store in Win10, look for Minecraft. It should now say that you own it.

7. Install and play.

Thanks,

Brad

Is minecraft win 10 on Game pass for PC or only ultimate?

Minecraft for Windows 10 is NOT on Game Pass. Only Minecraft for Xbox is. However, Minecraft Dungeons
WILL be available on Win10/Xbox on May 26th.

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.

Hello there,

Thank you for posting on Xbox Forums. In regards to the issue with redeeming the Windows 10 Edition of Minecraft on the wrong account, is the account it's redeemed on a Microsoft account? And if so, have you tried to sign into that account with the Gmail
on the Xbox Website? If not, I would recommend trying to sign into the Gmail on the website to create an Xbox account for it so that you are able to play the Windows 10 Edition of Minecraft.

If you have any other questions please feel free to reply back letting us know. Thank you again for posting on Xbox Forums.
