    I bought Minecraft Java Edition on my IMac around 5 years ago. I recently changed to a Windows Laptop, is it possible to trasnfer my ownership of Minecraft Java to my Laptop without having to rebuy Minecraft?

    :)

  3. Purchased Multiple Copies Of Minecraft Versions, But Need Minecraft - Java Edition.

    Hi Debalena,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    If you have purchased several copies of Minecraft from Mojang, then I suggest you to refer the
    Mojang refunds policy and check their refund policy.



    If you want to swap your editions of Minecraft that you have purchased, please
    Contact Mojang Support and they will help you with this.



    If you have purchased Minecraft from Microsoft Store, then I suggest you to refer
    Returning items you bought from Microsoft Store for exchange or refund
    and check if you can get a refund.



    As you need the Java Edition of Minecraft, you can follow the steps mentioned in
    How do I install Minecraft: Java Edition? and install
    the Java Edition of Minecraft on your computer.



    Before purchasing the Java Edition of Minecraft, I suggest you to refer the system requirements for installing the Java Edition of Minecraft from
    Minecraft: Java Edition system requirements.



    For reference, you may also refer the Different Minecraft Editions
    to know more about the different versions of Minecraft.

    Minecraft java and bedrock edition online purchase.

    Hi,Samar ! I'm Luis, a fellow Microsoft Community Member . Thanks for reaching us out here.

    If you have bought Minecraft before, you’re now getting the other edition for free. Woot! Follow these steps to redeem it:

    Go to the Microsoft Store listing for Minecraft: Java & Bedrock for PC.

    https://aka.ms/JavaBedrockEdition

    Sign-in to the Microsoft Store with your Microsoft account.

    Once you’re signed in, instead of a “Buy” button you should see a button that says “Get.” Click this button – and now you own both editions!

    HOW DO I RUN OR PLAY EITHER VERSION OF MINECRAFT?

    Once you’ve completed the steps above, including logging into the Microsoft Store, you can now download the Minecraft Launcher.

    To play Minecraft: Java Edition, download and install the correct launcher for your operating system. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Java Edition.
