I wanted to play minecraft earlier today for the first time in awhile, so I loaded up the launcher, only to find I needed to download the newer one. Downloaded the new launcher, and couldn't remember whether to log in w/ my username or email, but I tried both and turned out it was email. Only to notice after logging in that I could only play the demo version. Found the mojang support thread over only being able to play the demo: https://help.mojang.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1218766-can-only-play-minecraft-demo. Which made me log into my mojang account. The post provided 4 reasons for why I might only be able to play the demo, none of which were the case:
Your purchase of Minecraft was made under a different email address, or the email address has been changed ; it's definitely the same email I even got a message a year before saying I successfully migrated my account.
You have an old Minecraft account that was never migrated to a Mojang account; already migrated a year before, even got the email saying so.
Your purchase was refunded. In this case, you will have received an email from Mojang; no email from mojang saying I had been refunded
You just purchased Minecraft while the account was logged into the launcher, or you have not yet chosen a username; definitely chose a username made the account almost 5 years ago and played on it for just as long.
Then I saw the part of the post saying that if you owned minecraft your profile on mojang would look like this (see below photos), but mine is different and only has "Import old Minecraft Account", but when I click on that and enter my information it says I've already migrated my account, and yet I still can only play demo (see below photos). Then whenever I log onto mc.net it says I don't have minecraft. The only thing I saw with people having a similar problem was that their account was deleted, the reason being they bought it from a third party site. But I bought it straight from the official site and my account is still up, same skin and everything. I don't know what to do, I've tried googling around but I can't find a solution. Thanks for any help in advance.

Yeah, logged in and it just says "It looks like you don't own Minecraft for PC/Mac. Buy it here!" as shown in the last screenshot.
