Windows 10: PUR-UserAlreadyOwnsContent - Cannot play Minecraft.

Hi,I have owned minecraft for many years. Now, on this computer, Minecraft launcher says "Buy Now" instead of "Play". I attempted to purchase the game again, but wwas met with the error message: "PUR-UserAlreadyOwnsContent".I'd love a resolution that doesnt require me buying the game I already own again :

:)

I was trying to install the new Minecraft launcher on the wrong hard drive and I canceled the installation. I was trying to install it again, but when I got to the "Get" page for the application, I clicked the button and I click get. It says:

"Looks like you already own this

Go to My games and apps, or My library on your home device, to download it. If you’re gaming from the cloud, it should be ready to go.

I went to my library in the XBOX app and there was no new app there. Then I went to the Microsoft Store and checked there. It says I got the app a few minutes ago. I don't know where I can reinstall the app.

Sorry for my bad English.
