Windows 10: Why can't I get Minecraft: Bedrock Edition even though I have Java on my pc?

I have Minecraft: Java Edition on my pc. I went to go play it today and it said I needed a bundle with both editions of Minecraft. It said if you own it before you would get it for free. I went to the Microsoft store but there was no "get" button to get the game for free. Why can't I get it?

I bought Minecraft java before bedrock was bundled with java

Hi Tristan,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Yes, you should be entitled to the Bedrock edition for free, please see the steps provided on the Minecraft website on the link below.

I have Bedrock edition on pc and I tried getting Java edition

I have Bedrock edition on pc and I tried getting Java edition but it tells me to buy it or to get the game pass for pc, a friend of mine had java and i got him bedrock with the new Minecraft update but it wont work for me

 

Minecraft Java & Bedrock merge is broken?

I'm not able to play minecraft java. I originally bought bedrock edition, and assumed with the new merge update that I would now be able to play java edition as well. Pressing play brings up a menu asking me to make a minecraft name, but doing that will cause it to respond with "failed to create profile". I instead tried putting in my microsoft user, which didn't work either (it said it was taken). I saw other websites saying to go to the minecraft page and open a dropdown menu for java in your profile tab, but i can't do that because i bought bedrock edition and it doesn't process that i should also have java with the new update. Am I misunderstanding how the update works? Is there a step i need to do to get both versions to work?
(edit/adding onto the update info says i should be able to go to the games page, and java should say "get" instead of "buy", but mine still says buy
