    Need to rebuy minecraft after migrating to microsoft account


    I just migrated my Mojang minecraft account to my microsoft account and now when i log in it just says "play demo" and i need to rebuy? I already searched the web for answers but nothing i found helped. My hunch is that my Xbox gamertag might be broken. In the launcher my gamertag is "" but on minecraft.net its still the old one, xbox assigned me.

    :)

    Need to rebuy minecraft after migrating to microsoft account

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    These steps can help you, give it a try.
    Check for updates on Windows Update, update everything including optional/additional updates.
    1. Logout from Xbox app and Microsoft Store app
    2. Look for the Xbox app and Microsoft Store app in the Windows menu, right-click, click app settings and then click terminate, restore and reset. Do this with the launcher too.
    3. Clear the store cache type ''wsreset'' in the Windows bar, run as admin, and wait for the screen to close and open the store automatically.
    4. Open the Microsoft Store app, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner>downloads updates>get updates and update everything.
    5. Restart your PC, log in to both apps and see if that solves the problem.

    Also, try deleting and redownload the launcher from the Xbox app or from the Microsoft Store app on your Windows. When logging back into the launcher select the option to log in with your Microsoft account.

    Minecraft migration

    That's normal, you can't access the old Mojang account after the migration, you need to use the email you used to migrate the Mojang account to, in the launcher you need to select Minecraft Java and then Microsoft login and then use the email you use during the migration process

    How do I change my minecraft account and username data to a different microsoft account?

    Hi Uso. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Once a Minecraft account is migrated to a Microsoft account, it is permanently associated with that account. Unfortunately, you can't change this after migrating.

    To clarify, you are having issues accessing Minecraft on the account you migrated it to?

    Bonjour and Hello!

    I hope it's okay if I reply this in English, you can maybe use a translator.

    Did you try the Merge feature on MineCraft?
    It's best to read further information about it: Merging Minecraft Accounts.

    Also, by reading further:
    What will happen to my Mojang account after I migrate to a Microsoft account?

    You won't need it anymore! After migrating you'll use your Microsoft account to log in to the Minecraft Launcher to play the game and log in to minecraft.net to manage your settings.

    So perhaps try the Microsoft account.

    Hope this works!
