Windows 10: It looks like you don't have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. To...

So I bought Minecraft the master collection on the Microsoft store website and tried to install it on my pc but i keep getting this message. "It looks like you don't have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. To install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account." but I'm signed into my Microsoft account on my pc in the website and on the app so I don't understand why I cant install it. I only have 1 device linked to my Microsoft account and its my pc. I used to have an Xbox but I sold it a long time ago and its not in my devices for my Microsoft account but it does show up when I open the Xbox console companion app. I've tried almost every method people have said to fix this but nothing is working.

Installing an installer on my PC - error message 'It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account'

Hi Elaine,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To have clarity on this issue and guide you accordingly, kindly help us with the following information.

• When you say ‘installing the installer on my PC’, what exactly are you trying to install?
  
• Are trying to download and install something from the Microsoft Store? If not, from where are you trying to install?
  
• Which build of Windows 10 is installed on the machine?
  

(Search winver from the Start menu to know the same)



If you read the error message on an attempt to install something from Microsoft Store, the possible reason could be the device not being registered under your Microsoft account. I suggest you to sign in to your Microsoft account
here and see if the device is listed.



If the device is listed, please sign out of Microsoft Store,
reset it, and then sign in to the same Microsoft account and see if the issue persists.

• Launch Microsoft Store, sign out from it, and exit the same.
  
• Press ‘Windows + R’ keys on the keyboard together to open the Run dialog box and type the following into the Run box:
  wsreset.exe
  
• Wait for the command to run its course and sign in to Store once it automatically launches to see if works.
  

Meanwhile, you may also refer to the suggestion by EggsBoxJuan
on the thread It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s)
linked to your Microsoft account. and see if it helps.



Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

 

It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account.

Today, I bought a game from the Microsoft Store website. Once I bought it, I clicked on "Install to my device". Then, a message came up saying "It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. To install, sign in
on a device with your Microsoft account.". I have no idea why this popped up since I have my Microsoft account linked my Windows 10 computer that is completely up to date and also my Xbox Live account linked to it, if I could install it from there.

 

Applicable Devices Linked to Microsoft account

It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. To install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account. I got this message when I tried to buy a game from the app store.
I am signed into my microsoft account, because how would I be able to buy anything without being signed into it? So please answer and tell me what is wrong.
