I would go find your transaction id for the game itself sent by email, that way you have it on hand, and go submit a support ticket at Submit a request
Go to Minecraft.net Profile
Note down your Profile Name, and Xbox Gamertag.
This way you can let Mojang know if this isn't being recognized by them.
Try also logging into your account using your old Mojang account information as a Microsoft account.
For those receiving an error code when trying to install the new launcher from the Microsoft store:
Under the "Still Having Problems?" section

- Restart your device
- Go to Microsoft Store
- Click the ... in the top right corner and click My Library
- Go to the Gaming Services page and click get
- Repeat for Microsoft Store, Xbox Live in-game experience, Xbox Game Bar, Microsoft Store, and the Xbox Game Bar,
