Minecraft Install Button is missing.

On my PC the Store says that I've purcharsed Minecraft, but there is no install button.

When I click on Minecraft I get an option to Install on my devices.

Clicking on Install on my devices only shows my xbox's.

How can I get it to install on Windows 10?

Hey there, FireFinn5Barber

I have seen your screenshot and understand how confusing this can be. Please look at mine underneath:

The one in blue, the same one in your screenshot, is not showing the download/Launch button because this is available on Xbox One only. This is the new Xbox One edition of Minecraft which allows cross play between other devices. 

The reason they have not changed the name to Minecraft Xbox One edition, like they have done for Windows 10, is because there is an outdated version of Minecraft Xbox One edition which is still available today - but hasn't been receiving updates. 

The version you want to get, if you are wanting to download it onto your computer, is Minecraft for Windows 10, which you can see is highlighted in Green. 

You can find this by opening store and searching Minecraft for Windows 10, and it should display in the search results. If you notice that the Windows 10 Edition is not allowing you to install it onto your device, please can you attach a screenshot of this?

Hope this helps,
