Windows 10: Can I get my Minecraft Java Edition account back?

I had deleted my Microsoft account but had realised after that my Minecraft Java Edition account was under that Microsoft account. Will I be able to get my Minecraft account back? the account was created/purchased well before the migration took place and it has been migrated.

Minecraft java and bedrock edition online purchase.

Hi,Samar ! I'm Luis, a fellow Microsoft Community Member . Thanks for reaching us out here.

If you have bought Minecraft before, you’re now getting the other edition for free. Woot! Follow these steps to redeem it:

Go to the Microsoft Store listing for Minecraft: Java & Bedrock for PC.

https://aka.ms/JavaBedrockEdition

Sign-in to the Microsoft Store with your Microsoft account.

Once you’re signed in, instead of a “Buy” button you should see a button that says “Get.” Click this button – and now you own both editions!

HOW DO I RUN OR PLAY EITHER VERSION OF MINECRAFT?

Once you’ve completed the steps above, including logging into the Microsoft Store, you can now download the Minecraft Launcher.

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.

Please note that a Minecraft purchase is tied to your account (email address) and not a device. As such, you
