Purchase prompt for Minecraft Starter collection for PC.

Hi Arsalan,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as you are getting a prompt to purchase Minecraft Starter Edition. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below

• Where did you redeem the code?
  
• Where and when you are getting this purchase prompt?

However, we would like to inform you that Minecraft Bedrock Edition is not available in Microsoft Store. In Microsoft Store you will have the Minecraft Starter and Master collection.



If you have redeemed the code in Mojang website and installed the Bedrock edition from Mojang, then we will suggest you to reinstall the game from Mojang website and sign in with the same account, which was
used for redemption.



Minecraft Starter collection is all together a different game, which you have to purchase separately from Microsoft Store.



I would also suggest you to contact the Mojang support team for further assistance on this issue.

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

 

Minecraft for Windows 10 Starter Collection

Greg,

Thanks. I've seen you post this before, and I've performed all of these steps. I still get the 'This product won't work on this device' message when I look at the page for the 'minecraft for windows 10 starter collection.' The store looks like it's working
fine. Other apps appear like I could run them. This appears to be a minecraft-specific thing. I've seen this on at least two separate Win10 laptops at this point.

Thanks,

Joe
