minecraft java/windows 10

I bought the java edition of minecraft.

experience launching trouble (unable to update native launcher window error message)

I redeem the windows 10 code and got the app running.

still the shortcut to the original java exe gives me the same error windows.

I want to register to minecraft class online that require the java edition.

"Note that there are four versions of Minecraft but only one works for this class. This class works ONLY with

MINECRAFT PC/MAC, also known as the JAVA Edition. It does not work with any of those other three.

Minecraft PC/Mac works on Windows 10 computers (as well as Macs, Linux and other versions of Windows),

but is not the same as the Minecraft Windows 10 version. Confusing, right? Contact me before class if you

aren't sure you have the right version."

How can I get the java running?

thanks

 

unable to install java on kids PC? just keep getting "installation failed" mssgs

If you haven't already, uninstall all versions of Java on the machine and install this one from an administrator account:

The non-Java version is only available on Windows 10 (free upgrade available for another 6 months or so) via the Windows Store (you can tie an existing Minecraft account to a Microsoft account which will register the free copy of Minecraft). I don't know if their multiplayer is cross-compatible. I also don't know how fleshed out the Windows version is from the Java version.

 

Minecraft for Windows 10 and Minecraft Java

Hi

My son bought a Minecraft license for the Windows 10 version, but his friends are all running the Java version. Is there any way that he can use the Java version from his Win 10 license? We tried to install the Java version but it only wants to make us buy
it.

Thanks
