I bought Minecraft for my cell phone and now wanted to know whether I can download it for free on my PC because someone said to me that it was possible.
Does anyone have instructions for this or is it not possible at all?
No.
Then he lied to you.
You must purchase Minecraft separately on each device.

indirectly.
If you mean a smartphone with Android by the term "mobile phone", you can download an Android emulator and use it to play Mobile Minecraft on your PC.
You do NOT get the native Minecraft (Java version / Win10 version) for free
Even if the Pocket Edition is more and more like the original, there are two different versions. You have to purchase the PC version again.
I have it for IOS and also for Android but the one with the emulator sounds good. Would I have to download it from the Internet right?

Yes. I myself use MuMu as an Android emulator, but I'll throw a few more names into the room: Memu, LDPlayer, Nox, Bluestacks
Are they safe at all? So because of viruses etc.
These are actually just programs that start a virtual machine with Android. So if you have concerns, just buy the normal Java Minecraft and play like everyone else.
As I said: I use MuMu myself…
Yes, the whole thing would be more in a legal gray zone

no it is not.
Okay, as you think
Yeah, I mean it. Why should it be a legal gray area? There's nothing illegal about a virtual machine that hosts an open operating system.
I could also manually pack Android into a VM & install the Google services. The programs do this just for you
I just don't want to buy it a third time. Besides, I rarely play anyway
Ok cool. Then just use an emulator, like I've already written, or keep playing it on the go.
As I also mentioned, otherwise you will not legally get the Java or Win10 version for free…
I didn't say it was illegal
You implied it through the "gray area" - but that's wrong…
It doesn't matter, it's not my business
You can play minecraft bedrock on your PC by transfering apk from phone and install it on emulator such as bluestacks etc…
