Windows 10: Downloading free copy of Bedrock Edition

Hi, I bought Java Edition for Minecraft back in 2015 so i believe I'm entitled to a free version of bedrock on the pc. I have logged into my Mojang account, but I do not see and "Redeem" button or anything like that. I really don't want to spend $30 on something I'm pretty sure I can get for free. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Can't Sign in to MineCraft Bedrock Edition for my Microsoft account.

Unable to download my copy of Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

When MC Bedrock first released, I had obtained a free copy of it due to already owning a Java Edition account. A while afterwords, I purchased an Xbox One S with a code for Minecraft, along with some goodies.

I recently got a new PC, and have been trying to download and install my copy of Bedrock, however it is only giving me the option to purchase a new copy on both Mojang's website, and on the Microsoft Store. I've tried everything I could to get it to work, however
so far nothing is working.

When I am able to get it to a point where I can download it, it is only giving me the option to install it on my old console, which I no longer have in my possession and have removed from my Microsoft Account.

 

Minecraft Bedrock Edition Free Copy

Hi Fist,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

Yes, the free Minecraft Bedrock copy offer ended in April 2020. The only thing I can suggest is to raise a request on Minecraft support to try your luck - we are just volunteers here trying to help.
