  1. Accessing Minecraft on Windows After Purchasing on Nintendo Switch


    Dear Microsoft Support Team,I recently purchased Minecraft on my Nintendo Switch and was hoping to play it on my Windows laptop as well. After researching online, I found several sources stating that I wouldn't need to purchase it again to access it on another platform.Could you please confirm if this is accurate? If so, I’d love some guidance on how to get access to the game on my laptop.Thank you for your time and assistance!Best regards, Caleb

    :)
