    How can I link purchases across accounts?


    I have signed into and purchased Minecraft with a different email address to what my normal one is due to a typo, is there any way I can link the purchase and get rid of the second account without losing progress or having to buy the game again? I have already tried to add an 'alias' but it won't work as the email is already in use with my second account.

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

  3. Microsoft account purchase information.

    Hi Robert,

    A corrupted game file is one of the possible reasons why you don't see any information with all of your Microsoft games. To help you resolve this concern, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    Step 1: Sign out your account from the Windows Store. Here is how:

    • Open the Store app.
    • Click/tap on the user icon, and click/tap on Microsoft account that you are currently signed in to the Store with.
    • Click/tap on the Microsoft account again.
    • Click/tap on the Sign out link.

    Step 2: Reset Store cache. Follow the steps below:

    • Press the Win+R keys to open the Run dialog.
    • Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.

      Note: The WS tool resets the Windows Store without changing account settings or deleting installed apps.
    • The Store and a command prompt will now open without any message. The command prompt will automatically close when the Store cache has been reset.

    Step 3: Sign in your account to the Windows Store.

    • Open the Store app.
    • Click/tap on the user icon, and click/tap on Sign in.

    Should you need further assistance, feel free to post back anytime.

  4. How can I link purchases across accounts?

    Unable to purchase on Microsoft Store with a Family account.

    Thank you for your response. There are other games that allow you to purchase using the Microsoft funds that you transferred to a member of your Family.
    If you don't have sufficient money in your Microsoft account to complete a transaction, you must use another form of payment registered with your Microsoft account to cover the remaining purchase amount, charge the entire purchase to the other payment
    option in lieu of your account balance, or add additional value to your Microsoft account.

    To ensure that the child account is allowed to purchase a content online, you have to check and change the restriction settings on the account by following the steps below:

    1. Sign in to your account on the
      Microsoft Family page
      .
    2. Find your child’s name and select More options > Spending >
      Change content restrictions.
    3. Change the restrictions settings and allow the account to purchase.

    If you are still unable to purchase the game, there is a possible issue with your profile or the billing information. We recommend that you contact Xbox Chat Support to securely check your account and the child account.

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.
