It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account.

Very frustrated, I just purchased Minecraft for Windows 10 from the Microsoft store, but when it gets to the install step, I get: It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account.
To install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account.

But I am signed in, the PC shows up on my list of devices and I'm attempting to download it to that same PC listed. It's linked but refuses to allow my purchase to be downloaded. I've gone through the Get More Info
section but nothing helps. The device is listed with "No issues found" but I'm at a loss as to how to get my purchase installed. This has to be an issue someone else has run into, what's the solution? Thanks!

Installing an installer on my PC - error message 'It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account'

Hi Elaine,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To have clarity on this issue and guide you accordingly, kindly help us with the following information.

• When you say ‘installing the installer on my PC’, what exactly are you trying to install?
  
• Are trying to download and install something from the Microsoft Store? If not, from where are you trying to install?
  
• Which build of Windows 10 is installed on the machine?
  

(Search winver from the Start menu to know the same)



If you read the error message on an attempt to install something from Microsoft Store, the possible reason could be the device not being registered under your Microsoft account. I suggest you to sign in to your Microsoft account
here and see if the device is listed.



If the device is listed, please sign out of Microsoft Store,
reset it, and then sign in to the same Microsoft account and see if the issue persists.

• Launch Microsoft Store, sign out from it, and exit the same.
  
• Press ‘Windows + R’ keys on the keyboard together to open the Run dialog box and type the following into the Run box:
  wsreset.exe
  
• Wait for the command to run its course and sign in to Store once it automatically launches to see if works.
  

Meanwhile, you may also refer to the suggestion by EggsBoxJuan
on the thread It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s)
linked to your Microsoft account. and see if it helps.



Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
