But it keep pops up and I can't install my game I bought.I had many devices before, and many accounts too.The account that has Minecraft is old account, so I don't usually use it.The one I'm now usually using is this account, which I'm now writing this questionSo every time I install Minecraft, I just logged in to my old account and installed it, and then I logged

    Microsoft Store Problem

    Hi,

    There are times that you’ll encounter an error that the account doesn’t exist if the account name was misspelled. It can also be related to a conflict that has occurred with the Store app. To resolve this concern, we suggest that you check this
    article for the steps that you can use.

    Also, here are the troubleshoot steps that you can follow to isolate if the issue is with the Store app:

    • Check for
      connection problem
      .
    • Check if you have the correct time and location settings. Go to Settings
      > Time & Language.
    • Reset Microsoft Store cache:
    • Press Windows + R keys to launch the run command box.
    • Type WSReset, then try launching Microsoft and sign in.

    We're just here if you need further help.

    Device Limit Reached

    Same here. Got mail from Microsoft Team Advice (?): "It looks like you've reached your device limit for installing apps and games from the Store on your Windows 10 device. If you want to install apps and games from the Store on another Windows 10 device,
    remove a device from the device list." Have only one device on my device list - the one I´m using (Lenovo laptop). Cannot install new app. What to do?
