You will arrive at what is known as Minecraft Launcher, the access window to the game, and all its options. The first thing you will need to do is to log in using a Microsoft account or a Mojang account. If you do not have either of these, there is always the option Create a new Microsoft account, which will open a link for you to create an account.

If everything went correctly, you will now have to choose a user name. As usual, it must be a name that is not in use, the system will check the name and will notify you when the one you have chosen is free.
Select your player name

If at some point, you decide to get the full version of the game, just go to the Minecraft page to get the Java version (there is a shortcut available right in the demo preview window) or to the Microsoft Store to get the Windows 10 version. There, you will find precise instructions on how to make the payment.
When you return to the Minecraft launcher and log in with the account you used to make the payment, you will have access to the full game. You can see how the green button to start the demo has been transformed into a Play button that will give you access to all available game modes.
