How do I play Bedrock Edition without having to buy the Java and Bedrock bundle

Hey David!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft.

Based on your description, kindly try to perform the following workarounds according to the official Mojang Support: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

"Ensure you have logged into the correct Microsoft Account that purchased Minecraft. You can locate your Microsoft Account on the Microsoft Help Page.​​ https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

Other possible issues could be:

Your launcher is out of date. Update via Settings > About or re-download the Minecraft Launcher. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

You purchased Minecraft under a different email address, or the email address has been changed. Be sure to check your account page to verify your purchase of Minecraft. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/login?return_ur...

Your purchase was refunded. In this case, you will have received an email from Minecraft and will need to re-purchase the game from the Minecraft Store. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/min...

You just purchased Minecraft while the account was logged into the launcher, be sure to restart your launcher and re-try.

Make sure your system meets the system requirements. https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44... "

Hello，David Anić

Welcome to posting in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you may feel confused and frustrated when dealing with this issue. Game access issues can be annoying, especially if you have already purchased the game. According to your description, you see that you own the Bedrock Edition on the Minecraft website, but you are asked to re-purchase it when you log in to the launcher. This is most likely because your account information is not synchronized correctly, or some files have not been restored after the system is reinstalled.

The new SSD and reinstallation of Windows may cause some settings or registration information to be lost, affecting the launcher's recognition of your game license. But don't worry, such problems can usually be solved, and I recommend that you contact online support through the Xbox official website. They can view your account information to assist in getting your game permissions set up correctly. You can contact Xbox Online Support in the following ways, and rest assured that it will cost you absolutely nothing to fix the problem and play the game smoothly:
