Finishing the migration to a Microsoft Account

The instructions say, "5. After you have confirmed the move, that’s all there is to it! Your Minecraft account will have been migrated to your existing Microsoft account, and you will see a confirmation message."

But that is not "all there is to it". You must also, on your next login, press "go back" and add the new Microsoft secured account to the Minecraft launcher!

The instructive articles fail to mention this step, Minecraft support did not mention this and I spent so much time trying to get support from Microsoft that I finally figured it out on my own through trial and error!

    Thank you so much for posting this.  I was the same way.  It's crazy that they don't tell you this.  You saved me hours of frustration. (After more frustration than I want to admit to.)
