Can't download minecraft java edition

hello everyone, hope you are well.

I'm facing an issue for downloading Minecraft java edition and that's because I already downloaded Minecraft for windows edition. In the picture this what happened if I try to download java edition.

Is there any way to download Minecraft for java? and is there any way to get it for free since I bought Minecraft windows?

Thanks!

 

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.

Microsoft Store - Angebote für Laptops, Windows Computer und andere Sonderangebote

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.
