I can't download Minecraft Education even though trying different alternative ways and official ways too.

I got a replacement for my computer as it was broken before, and I have went on software center whereas I've gotten Minecraft Education on my old computer, searched it up and didn't show any results. Then I decided to go on to the official minecraft education website to download it but redirected to me to the microsoft store which is also blocked. And then I've tried clicking on third party websites (Use third party websites at your own risk) and that still didn't work either.

    Hello,

    It seems you are using a school‑managed device or signing in with a school account. In that case, the school can restrict downloads and installations through their organization policies. When these policies are active, students cannot install apps on their own.

    Because of this, you will need to contact your school’s IT administrator so they can allow or install Minecraft Education on your new device.

    Minecraft Education is being blocked in this environment, so installation must be done through the organization’s managed tools rather than direct downloads.

    Key points from the scenario:

    • Software Center on the new device does not show Minecraft Education.
    • The official Minecraft Education download redirects to Microsoft Store, which is blocked.
    • Third‑party download sites do not work.

    In managed/ school environments, apps like Minecraft Education are typically deployed centrally using tools such as Microsoft Intune or Configuration Manager. The documented method for Windows devices is to have an admin assign and deploy the Microsoft Store app version of Minecraft Education to the target devices.

    Required action:

    1. Contact the school or IT administrator and request that Minecraft Education be deployed to the replacement device.
    2. The admin should:
      • Go to the Microsoft Intune admin center.
      • Select Apps > Windows > Add.
      • Under App type, choose Microsoft Store app (new).
      • Use Search the Microsoft Store app (new) to find Minecraft Education and select it.
      • On App information, set Install behavior to System so it installs for all users (recommended).
      • On Assignments, target the appropriate user or device group as Required (automatic install) or Available (install via Company Portal/Software Center, depending on configuration).
      • Complete Review + Create.
    3. After the admin assigns the app, it will install automatically at the next device check‑in or appear in the organization’s app portal (Company Portal/Software Center equivalent) for on‑demand installation.

    Because Microsoft Store and direct downloads are blocked, only the organization’s admin can change those policies or push the app to the new device.
