If I have Minecraft on mobile can I have the windows 10 edition for free?
Context
I have MCPE on mobile and mostly play it on controller.
After playing other PC games (like krunker) I thought to start playing on my laptop (main reason is that I am getting a new beefy PC)
P.S I have actually brought Minecraft from the Playstore And thus have a ligit Microsoft account linked with MC
Main Problem
I want to know if it possible to play the windows 10 edition of Minecraft if I have my Microsoft account linked with my Minecraft PE Android application.
My Thoughts
I think there might be two methods.
1:
If my Microsoft account (let's say it is
[email protected]
) is linked to my MCPE and I signed my Microsoft store account with the same account[email protected]
it will be free
2
I have all MCPE files in my phone. Can I transfer it to PC and play (of course not 😂) my Android files are .APK and and windows supports .EXE files so I think either I get an Android emulator (has very slim chances of working now that I think about it) or convert my APK file to EXE file (problem is I can't find my Minecraft.APK file)
Ending
Plz tell me if any of my methods will work.

Solution 1:
If you want to play the Windows 10 Edition, you still have to buy it even if you have the mobile game with a microsoft account. I have bedrock edition on my phone, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox, and I have always had to buy Minecraft on each device.
