If I've purchased the game on my switch and it uses my Microsoft account, why can't I seem to play on my PC?

I just recently purchased Minecraft on my Nintendo Switch.  It uses my Microsoft account for logging in.  I thought I could use it both on my PC and my Switch.  On the forums folks who purchased it on their PC talk about how to use it on their Switch.  However I can't seem to figure out how to make my PC recognize that I already have purchased Minecraft. 

Help.

Minecraft is not a cross buy game. Microsoft accounts are only for multiplayer and marketplace syncing 

You will have to purchase it on every platform you want to play on (Android, iOS, Switch, Xbox etc). It is a separate license for all of them
