Windows 10: I own two copies of minecraft windows 10, but can only play one.

Hi


I bought a windows 10 copy of minecraft about eight months ago, so that my son can play it on my laptop.

My other son wants to use a laptop now, so today, I have purchased another copy of minecraft windows 10 on a different laptop whilst logged into the same microsoft account.
When I launched minecraft on the new laptop, it assumed that I am the same player as the first purchase and used that profile.
How can I start afresh with a new identity on my new laptop so that my boys can play each other?
Thanks

Michael

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 ...

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
