    Hi,

    Based on your description, you have this Minecraft from Mojang. May I ask if you have ever merged your Mojang account with Microsoft?

    For more information regarding the merge, please visit the article below.

    Information about Mojang Accounts and Microsoft Account Migration
    Mojang Account migration completed

    If you have ever migrated your Mojang account to your Microsoft account, make sure you log in to the MS account you have used on the migration.

    I look forward to your response.

    Stay Safe!

    A previous purchase of Minecraft for PC does not need to be paid for again, as long as the same Microsoft account (or migrated Mojang account) that owns the game is used.

    To use Minecraft on a Windows 10/11 PC without repurchasing:

    1. Sign in with the correct account
      • Open the Microsoft Store app on Windows.
      • Select your profile picture and make sure the same Microsoft account that owns Minecraft is signed in.
      • If Minecraft was originally a Mojang account, ensure it has been migrated to a Microsoft account and sign in with that Microsoft account.
    2. Reinstall Minecraft from Microsoft Store
      • Open Microsoft Store.
      • Select Gaming or use search to find Minecraft.
      • If the game was previously purchased on this account, the button will show Install (or a download icon), not a price.
      • Select Install to download it again at no extra cost.
    3. Check your library and order history
      • In Microsoft Store, select More info (next to your account picture) → My Library.
      • Look for Minecraft; if it shows a Download icon, select it to install.
      • To confirm ownership, go to Order history while signed in with the same account and verify that the Minecraft purchase appears there.

    If Minecraft does not appear in My Library or Order history under any Microsoft account that can be signed in with, it means that account does not own the license, and a new purchase would be required.
