Hi

My name is Lee; an Independent Consultant, I'm here to help you with your problem.

Here is the steps

Is Minecraft for Windows 10 included with the purchase of Minecraft: Java Edition?

Players who have purchased Minecraft: Java Edition before October 19th, 2018 can get Minecraft for Windows 10 for free by visiting their Mojang account. Log into account.mojang.com, and under the “My Games” heading you will find a button to claim your gift code. If you purchased Minecraft: Java Edition after October 19th, 2018, the button will not be there, so if you’re unsure of when you purchased Minecraft: Java Edition, that’s a good way to check. Pressing the button will generate a token and send you to a Microsoft redemption page.

If you have an older Minecraft account (you still log in with your username), visit this article to find out about account migration. Once you’ve migrated your account, you will be able to claim a code for Minecraft for Windows 10.

You must be signed into a Microsoft/Xbox Live account in order to redeem the code. Please note that you cannot move the license once the code has been redeemed. Your code is saved on your Mojang account page for future reference.

    DAMN

    I missed the deadline by six days. It would have been nice to get an email about it beforehand!

    I bought Minecraft back in 2010, when the payment went to a company called 'Mojang Specifications'

    I'm kinda desperate and not sure if anyone will see this, or even remember to check on this with my memory problems. I went to my account and tried to find the windows version as I bought java edition back in 2018, August 7th as it turns out (since August 7th, 2018 on the website) so I should have the option to download the Windows version right? my purchase was before the October 19th date by a full two months. Yet, there's no option to download the Windows 10 version. I never redeemed it or have tried to before now. Has the method for getting the code change, or has the ability to utilize my early purchase just been slashed with no warning. 

    And to add to it all, I logged into my account from back in 2012 which I've given over to my sister for her to use so she wouldn't have to buy Minecraft. That account also doesn't have the redeem here button either. And I know for a fact I nor my sister or anyone else has redeemed such a code.

    Has Microsoft (or whoever) just stopped allowing older users who qualify for the free redemption to actually get the windows version?

    (edit)

    seems I missed the April 20, 2020 date by six days then...
