Windows 10: I can't play Minecraft for Windows

I bought Minecraft for Windows a while ago and i couldn't play it. I tried fixing it but nothing that i found worked so i just gave up. I have the game there and downloaded but i just don't know how to launch it because i get two options when i load up the xbox app to play it; Play with game pass or Unavailable. I don't have the xbox game pass but I bought the game. Someone please help because I spent money on this and I want to get my money's worth.

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

Tutorials/Setting up a server – Official Minecraft Wiki

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
