    Why can't I play the game I want?


    Hello! When I got my laptop, It had Minecraft installed already I have a Windows 10 but I didn't have a full version, so I got the full version today, but when it says Install, it said I didn't have a device connected. I had gone on settings and used my Microsoft account, still didn't work. I reset the Microsoft store, still didn't work. Should I uninstall Minecraft? But will it keep my payment for the starter pack? Please help me!

    :)

    Hi Lee,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    Please share this:


    • Are you playing the game online or offline?


    I suggest you to try installing the game in compatibility mode and check:

    Follow these steps to install the game in compatibility mode.


    • Download the game from the manufacturer’s website.

    • Right-click on the game setup file and click on
      ‘properties’.

    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
      ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 10 from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.


    Hope this helps. Feel free to get back to us for further queries. We will be happy to assist you.
