Used different account to redeem minecraft window 10 edition

Normal_Kill · Feb 24, 2022

Ok so i bought minecraft java edition before mojang is bought by microsoft. Later, I found that buying the java edition also gives me a window 10 edition. So i redeem it with a DIFFERENT email to redeem it. Its ok for me before since the win10 launcher and java launcher is different. However ,they are in the same launcher now ,when i try to download, the launcher tell me that my account is not same as my java account. how can I solve this???

Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hey Normal_Kill, how are you today? Hope you're well.

Did you redeem the windows 10 version using another account?

What exactly appears when you try to log in?

There's an option on the launcher for each login, for the Mojang's account if you didn't migrate, and for Microsoft's account.

Also, try to uninstall the launcher you have installed, and try to download it from the Microsoft store looking for Minecraft Java or Minecraft windows 10 edition.

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!

Players who already have the previous PC or Mac edition of Minecraft (running on Java) can
download Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition for free.

Note You'll need to get a code from Mojang, the game developer, by signing in to your Mojang account before attempting to redeem your code for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. Otherwise, you
may incur a charge. To get your code from Mojang:

Sign in with your Mojang account.
Under Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, select the link to request a code. Microsoft Windows 10 will open.

Note You'll need to sign in to or create a Microsoft account. If you sign in, use the Microsoft account you use to sign in to your Xbox account.
If you're running Windows 10, you'll be able to download the game right after redeeming your code. If you're running an earlier operating system, you'll need to come back to Microsoft Store once you're running Windows 10.

The code you receive from Mojang will be kept on your account, in case you’re unable to redeem it straight away, or in case you have problems trying to redeem it in Microsoft Store.
