    Unable to install Minecraft


    I downloaded and bought Minecraft earlier today, but it is not installing at all. It keeps coming up with “It looks like you dont have any applicable devices liked to your Microsoft account. To install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account.” when my laptop is very much signed into my Microsoft account. It is not due to my laptop being not up to date because I have already updated it to the latest version of Windows 10. Also I only have one device that has my Microsoft account logged into so I don’t think it is because of a multiple accounts issue. Someone please help I do not know what is wrong.

    :)

    Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

    It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

    There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

    Tutorials/Setting up a server – Official Minecraft Wiki

    It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

    Unable to open Minecraft

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    • Are you using Minecraft app downloaded from Store or Minecraft program?
    • Do you receive any error?
    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Minecraft and check if that fixes the issue.

    Also try to download and install the display and chipset drivers from the manufacturer website.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
