How do I transfer a purchase from one Microsoft account to another?

Question

So I bought Minecraft java edition on my mom's Microsoft account since I didn't have one at the time. I have one now and would like to transfer the purchase to my account now to use Minecraft java edition. How would I go about this?

Answer 1

There is no method available to transfer apps or games form one Microsoft account to another account, they are registered as a digital licence on the Microsoft account used at the time to purchase the apps or games.

If you are listed as a child account in a Microsoft Family, you may be able to use the steps provided on this link to play the game using your Microsoft account, however you may lose your previous progress in the game using this method.
