Windows 10: Reinstalling Minecraft Java and Bedrock Deluxe

Hi,I recently had to wipe my laptop and reinstall everything. I purchased Minecraft Java and Bedrock Deluxe in January 2023. When I attempt to download and install from the Microsoft store the only option I am given is to buy it again. How do I fix this?Thank you,SL

I bought Minecraft java before bedrock was bundled with java

Yes, you should be entitled to the Bedrock edition for free, please see the steps provided on the Minecraft website on the link below.

I bought the Deluxe Version of Minecraft for both Java and Bedrock but can only get bedrock without the additional benefits

Hopefully that will get it sorted out, but if not I'd ask in the Minecraft sub-Reddit above where other enthusiasts are dealing with this.

Minecraft Java & Bedrock merge is broken?

I'm not able to play minecraft java. I originally bought bedrock edition, and assumed with the new merge update that I would now be able to play java edition as well. Pressing play brings up a menu asking me to make a minecraft name, but doing that will cause it to respond with "failed to create profile". I instead tried putting in my microsoft user, which didn't work either (it said it was taken). I saw other websites saying to go to the minecraft page and open a dropdown menu for java in your profile tab, but i can't do that because i bought bedrock edition and it doesn't process that i should also have java with the new update. Am I misunderstanding how the update works? Is there a step i need to do to get both versions to work?
(edit/adding onto the update info says i should be able to go to the games page, and java should say "get" instead of "buy", but mine still says buy
