Where oh where did my Minecraft go?

MNPS is removing Minecraft for Education from the student laptops. You can still add it back from the microsoft store but it will only remain temporarily. Sorry.
Search for 'Microsoft Store' in the windows search box. Open it. Click on the header tab that says "Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools" and then click on Minecraft for Education and click 'install'. When it is finished you will see a 'Launch" button to begin using Minecraft. Once you have downloaded it, you may want to pin it to your taskbar to make it easy to find. You can do this by right clicking on the icon while it is open and clicking on 'pin to taskbar' or search for 'minecraft' in the windows search box again and then click 'pin to taskbar' before you open the program. The Minecraft icon will then stay pinned in the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.
