    Cannot install Minecraft because Windows Store does not exist.


    I own Minecraft, I have for a long time. I wanted to install the Windows 10 Edition onto another Windows 10 PC. I've discovered that I can't because it seems to only want to download from the Microsoft Store app, which does not exist on this PC. I've tried all manner of fixes listed here, none of which work, as they all require the C:\Windows\WinStore folder and at least a few of it's contents, like WinStore\appxmanifest.xml to exist. The only alternative I've seen that I haven't tried is completely reinstalling the Windows 10 OS, and I'd rather not do that just to have the ability to download a game.


    Is there a way to download Minecraft Windows 10 Edition without going through the app store, or a way to manually recreate or copy enough of the WinStore directory to get it reinstalled?

    :)

    Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?


    It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

    There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

    It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

    Thank you for your response. For existing owners of Minecraft on PC, you need to install the Minecraft Windows 10 Edition and get a prepaid activation code for free from Mojang, the game developer by following the steps below:

    • Sign in to your Mojang account on this
      link      .
    • Under Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, select the link to request a code. The Windows 10 Store will open.
    • You will be able to download the game for free once you redeem the code.

    If you have any other queries, feel free to contact us anytime.
