Please help me with this issue.

Hi MachiGU,

Thanks for reaching out! Are you referring to Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta free trial version? Try reviewing the article

Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta FAQ. If you still need more assistance with Minecraft Windows 10 Trial version, try contacting

Mojang Support.

Hope this helps.

Hello Marshmellow,

Do you own the PC version of Minecraft? If not you only have the beta and wont be able to upgrade unless you purchase the regular Minecraft for windows 10. If you do own the PC version of Minecraft you should be able to upgrade to the Minecraft windows 10
edition for free. Check this website on the PC and see if it says to install or purchase.

I'm not sure how you saw the message about it being installed on the Xbox, but it could be a minor Store app glitch.

The "Windows 10 Edition", as the name implies, is only available for Windows 10 PCs. If anything, you are able to link your Xbox account to it to play online and track achievements, but you don't actually play it on the Xbox console.

Only the Windows 10 version of Minecraft is offered free
if you already own the original Java version. The Xbox One edition is not part of that promotion.

Hey Nikolio16,

Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition runs specifically on Windows 10. If you would like to play Minecraft on Xbox One, you will want to take a look at Minecraft:
Xbox One Edition. If you would like to install the Windows 10 version of Minecraft on your Windows 10 PC, sign into the account that originally redeemed the code and download through the Windows Store.

Hope this helps!

Hello Georgina, my name is Zahir.

I would assume you are trying to download on a windows pc.

You will have to install the minecraft launcher first.

To play Minecraft: Java Edition, download and install the correct launcher for your operating system. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Java Edition.

To play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, you will need a device running Windows 10 or 11 to download and install the newest version of the Launcher, within which you can launch and play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
