Hi, I downloaded Minecraft for windows 10 thinking it was java edition. once downloaded I later found out that it was not java and cannot download java edition bc I cannot seem to figure out how to get rid of the windows 10 off of my computer. When I click on redeem code and java it says I already have Minecraft (talking abt non java) and need to switch out of S mode to get java edition. please help, I have emailed this company and Minecraft and they give me answers that aren't what I need. how can I switch the non java for java edition without being overcharged for it. I have been on my computer for 5 days trying to figure this out and I just need a solution asap. I need help

    Hey there, DanielleConners

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums. 

    You will need to return the purchased game, otherwise you are going to have two versions of Minecraft. One Windows 10 and the other Java. 

    You should be able to do this on https://account.microsoft.com

    You will need to switch out of S mode on Windows 10. To do this, search for Windows to S mode in store and you should see an option to switch out of it. 

    You will need to buy and install Java Edition of Minecraft though this link here:

    Hope this helps, 

    Regards,
