    Minecraft for PC - bought on my laptop, how to install on son's


    Bought Minecraft for PC edition back in November and we still haven't managed to download and play it. Our Microsoft accounts are linked so I thought it would go into a family library or something. On my laptop it says I own it and can download it. On his, not. I really want to talk to someone to help me through this: why can't I get a human on the phone or on live chat? How do I deal with this? I have promised to sort it out for him and simply don't know next steps.

    :)

    Minecraft bought from microsoft online store

    I just bought Minecraft for Windows 10 Starter Collection for my son using his laptop which is managed by my Microsoft account and shows up in my devices list. When I select to install the software this PC is not listed so I cannot
    install to it. My PC does come up in the list but I don't want to install it there.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    W10 wiped my son's laptop

    Hi Debbie,

    It is possible that your son is unable to open his laptop while updating due to a corrupted or incomplete installation. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Is your son, getting an error message when he tried to turn on his laptop?
    • When he tried to open his laptop, are you able to check if the power light stays on?
    • Are you seeing black screen/blank screen when you tried to turn on his laptop?
    • What troubleshooting steps has your son done so far to resolve it?

    Meanwhile, if you're seeing a blank screen/black screen, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article on how to troubleshoot black screen errors. You can choose which best describes your issue.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.

    Minecraft for PC - bought on my laptop, how to install on son's

    Trouble installing Minecraft on new laptop

    I just purchased my son a laptop and wanted to add minecraft. I logged in on his laptop with my MS account info and purchased Minecraft but it tried downloading it to my computer instead of his laptop. It did not list his laptop as an option to download
    the game to.

    How do I install onto his laptop? How do I get the installation options again, since I can't find them and only option is to purchase again?
