Windows 10: Java account migration, account used to have minecraft windows 10 edition, but now says i...

Im checking my account, and i remember able to be playing windows 10 edition, now its saying i need to buy it for some reason. I remember redeeming it, but i dont know for sure since i had trouble even linking the account in the first place. Now im confused why it wants me to pay, If you ask a question about possible errors i may have done, i will try my best to answer.

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Minecraft Windows 10 Edition

Hi Microsoft,

I purchased minecraft Java edition back in 2015 and i am unable to migrate my account into the windows 10 edition. The only buttons i have are redeem code or download java edition.

From my understanding, i should be able to migrate it as long as i purchased minecraft before 2018. It should be noted i used to have the windows 10 version though it is now asking me to purchase.

Thanks,

 

Install Minecraft Java Edition

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Seems that you are trying to install Minecraft java edition on a Windows 10 PC. Yes, you can install Minecraft Java edition on the Windows 10 PC provided you need
to use the same Email account you used at the time of purchase.



Please note that a Minecraft purchase is tied to your account (email address) and not a device. As such, you
can download and install Minecraft: Java Edition on as many computers as you want. To log in, use your email address and password (or username and password if you have an older account)
