Windows 10: Sharing MS Store purchases with family

I purchased a copy of Minecraft with my parent account and was told that it could be shared with family members on my PC however I don't see an option to install it on my child account when I login. Can you tell me how I can do this? ^ origin question

:)

 

Can't find a purchased app on a family member log on

Hello Lisa,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

One of the many benefits of having a Microsoft account is a family group, which gives you access to family features and Settings. To share an application on a different account, kindly follow the steps listed below and check if it works:

• Initially, sign in to the child’s account on the computer and login to Microsoft Store using the Microsoft account that was used to purchase the game.
  
• After logging in to Store, under the Microsoft Account you will see the list of
  Purchased Apps which can be installed for the signed in user.
  
• Open Settings and select Your Account, click on
  Sign out option which would return the Store Settings to revert to the user account.
  

Additional Information: You may refer the article on
Sharing Windows 10 Store Apps with your Family for further
information.

Store game not showing as purchased ... and not playable

Hi, RRotter,

I am an Independent Advisor and will assist you.

Have you contacted Microsoft Store about the issue?

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/28808/...

Is the child signing into the device under your account with his own PIN number?

Have you checked your account to determine if the game is listed in your purchases?

Have you tried logging into your child's Store account using your PIN number instead of his?
