Windows 10: Store not allowing me to download apps and games

I am trying to download Minecraft Windows 10 on my lenovo t440p. When I go try to download an app or game the install button is blue but when I go and try to download it I click the install button it does not do anything. I saw that my laptop is not in my "trusted devices" list and I was wondering how to add it. I only have 6/10 of my Microsoft account devices on this account so it cant be that right? Any help is appreciated.
