Downloading and running the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.25 beta and preview on your PC is a rather easy task if you have the Bedrock edition installed. If you don't have Bedrock, you can get it from the Minecraft Launcher or the Microsoft Store.

You can now install and run the 1.21.50.25 beta and preview by following these simple steps:

If you have a previous preview edition like the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.50.24 beta and preview installed on your PC, you will have to visit the Microsoft Store app and enter your application library. Select the Games tab and look for Minecraft Preview under that list. Hit the "Update" button and wait for it to be downloaded. If you don't get the update prompt, click the "Get Updates" button in the top right of the window to refresh the updates listing and check for updates manually.
If you are downloading a beta and preview for the first time, head to the Minecraft launcher and choose the Bedrock edition of the game.
