Windows 10: Skype/Microsoft Account Merger Made Me Lose Minecraft Windows 10 Edition

Hello, I got Minecraft Windows 10 Edition for my Skype account before the merger for free when Mojang was offering a free copy for people who owned the Java edition of the game. When I log into my Microsoft account, I no longer own my copy of Minecraft Windows 10 Edition. What can I do? If I can't do anything, what can you do for me?

And not only that but also:

Windows 10 Anniversary Update will double the number of Start menu ads/promoted apps

Sure, all that stuff can be uninstalled but then again who needs more crapware

edit: without that W10 clean installation could've been much faster just like on ltsb version

clean out-of-box start menu on W10 ltsb

 

Creating a MS account without losing Local account

Go to https://account.microsoft.com, click Create account and fill the form:





With a Microsoft account you can then use OneDrive and Office Online apps for free. You can also use built-in native Windows apps which require a Microsoft account like Mail, Skype Preview, People, Calendar and download apps from Windows Store.

See steps 3 to 5 in this tutorial to continue using local account as Windows sign-in account even when / if you download apps from store and / or use Windows apps requiring a Microsoft account, to avoid Windows user account converting to Microsoft account: Store - Use when Signing in to Windows 10 with Local Account - Windows 10 Forums
