Minecraft Windows 10 - How do I join servers and multiplayer? (I feel like I may have missed something)

Hi there,

I am using a Windows 10 PC, no xbox controller, just a normal '14 inch laptop, but I seem to be having a problem with Minecraft.

So with a recent update of Minecraft, it now requires you to log in to your Microsoft account in order to play "friends" and "servers". I tried signing in to my Microsoft account, and then I got a message saying 'Y ou cannot play online multiplayer through xbox live because of how your account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy and online settings at xbox.com."

For some reason I cannot figure out how to do this.

Sorry to bother you with such a stupid question, but it would be appreciated if anyone knows how to solve this.

Thanks so much
