Windows 10: Microsoft account and Minecraft not syncing up

We installed Minecraft today from Microsoft store on Windows 10 desktop computer and all is working great!


This evening we tried to go online and download a skin my son wanted and upload it to our Minecraft.net account... The problem is we didn't create a Minecraft.net account when we installed Minecraft..I've tried to sign up for one using the email address registered to my Microsoft account but when it logs in it says I don't have Minecraft downloaded anyone got any ideas how to sync these two up or how to download skins without a Minecraft account?

:)

 

Microsoft Account not syncing WP8.1

Hi Michael,

We suggest that you manually sync your Microsoft account by following these steps:

• Go to Settings.
• Tap email + accounts.
• Tap and hold your Microsoft account.
• Tap sync.

Check also if you have the correct date and time set on your phone.

Let us know the results.

Regards.

 

Microsoft Account and Syncing


Not sure what else to suggest but since you mentioned it, try variations of the sync settings on your W8.1 phone. It is just possible that this is causing some confusion with your Microsoft account and the W10 settings.
