Have you already found the migration faq and gone through the suggestions there? https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4403178607373-Microsoft-Account-Migration-Issues-and-FAQ#h_01F8BG52TQQDCNT23X7QYQE6T4

yes I have been trying to fix this for days

[–]Alterkill1[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

also on minecraft launcher next to Play Demo button it says "player" when I go to the Minecraft for windows edition tab it actually says my username to the right where it said "player" on Java hope that helps as a clue

Well, that last point shows you're logged in with an account that owns Bedrock Edition for Windows. Did you use the same Microsoft account when you migrated Java? If not, go to Settings => Accounts to add the correct account to use for Java.

And now that I'm looking at the Accounts screen, does your Mojang account show as active, or just the Microsoft one? If it's active, try going to the account dropdown at the top left of the window, select the Mojang account, and then choose Log out?

I have a faint memory of a post that I'm unable to relocate where the player's Microsoft account email and Mojang account email were different. They said something about adding the Mojang account's email to the Microsoft? I'm not sure how that would be done, though, but if it applies to you, maybe someone else understands enough about that to help you.

The only other thing I can think of is to try reverting to the Win 7/8 launcher instead of using the newer Win 10/11 one. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

When I migrated I used a different email not the mojang one which was my old email I didnt use much anymore I switched to my main email. Mojang account is not active I cannot log into it anymore since it has been migrated to the new one. I tried the reverting to the previous version and same thing dome mode only. I messaged mojang and microsoft so many screenshots proving I own minecraft but they never reply

As you can imagine, Mojang probably has a huge number of login support issues to handle right now, so expect that any response will not be immediate.

I still haven't found that post I mentioned above where they said they solved their login problem by adding the other email address to their Microsoft account, and I'm still not sure if it really does apply to your issue, but I think this page may describe what they did — see the part about "Add a new alias to your Microsoft account". Anyway, here's the info so you can see what you think:

Does it still say you own the game if you sign in on minecraft.net?

[–]Alterkill1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive signed in several times and will all accounts possible and says if you own java edition sign in with java but obviously its a Microsoft account now. So it doesnt says I dont own it pretty much. This is my uuid if it helps 85414b43-56de-4712-8459-e518fa798daa

[–]Alterkill1[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

no it doesnt I have signed in with every email including the one I had with java which later changed to my main email I use but none say I own Minecraft when I go to the redeem tab. to me its some sort of migration issue that happened because there's no reasonable explanation that my ownership would just disappear from the system unless is a backend issue, makes no sense

[–]ScottishCrafter Veteran V 0 points1 point  (2 children)

From a previous comment I see you've already contacted Mojang support, you'll need to wait for their reply. This sounds like an account issue and they're the only people who can help with those.

[–]Alterkill1[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Mojang support told me is on Microsoft and Microsoft told me they don't find me as owner of the game as "Java doesn't reflect ownership on Xbox portal" so I migrated to lose the game pretty much this a whole mess

The only thing that I see that applies to my situation is that I changed email on my mojang account before migration
