Windows 10: Minecraft Got Deleted After Clean Installating Windows 10 And Again Minecraft Purchased.

it has come to my attention that my son has been trying to buy back a game called Minecraft.

We had already bought the game for him to play the windows 10 edition in his oculus rift, but recently we cleaned his computer for more space. upon finding out that not only had it wiped all the games but that we had to buy the game for another $26. why do I have to pay again and what can I do to fix it?

Purchased Multiple Copies Of Minecraft Versions, But Need Minecraft - Java Edition.

Hi Debalena,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



If you have purchased several copies of Minecraft from Mojang, then I suggest you to refer the
Mojang refunds policy and check their refund policy.



If you want to swap your editions of Minecraft that you have purchased, please
Contact Mojang Support and they will help you with this.



If you have purchased Minecraft from Microsoft Store, then I suggest you to refer
Returning items you bought from Microsoft Store for exchange or refund
and check if you can get a refund.



As you need the Java Edition of Minecraft, you can follow the steps mentioned in
How do I install Minecraft: Java Edition? and install
the Java Edition of Minecraft on your computer.



Before purchasing the Java Edition of Minecraft, I suggest you to refer the system requirements for installing the Java Edition of Minecraft from
Minecraft: Java Edition system requirements.



For reference, you may also refer the Different Minecraft Editions
to know more about the different versions of Minecraft.

 

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
