Java Edition, by the nature of Java, runs on any desktop OS. You can download it from the Minecraft website by selecting Computer -> PC. Your purchased copy of the game is associated with the account you sign-in to, meaning you can re-download it as many times as you like on any computer you like

Its possible and Java Edition is designed for PC so you should be able to run it with no problems if you install correctly. Just remember to install the latest version of Java so that the game can work. In some of the other answers you can see how to install it.

Sorry for downvoting, but Java does not need to be installed for newer versions, so although this answer does add something it is no longer correct.

Note that the account system for BedrockWin10 and Java are not linked, Java has a fee of $35 if you've never purchased it, even if you've purchased Windows 10 before.

@qwr that was the case with older versions but nowadays Minecraft uses its own JRE. Quote from minecraft.net: "Starting from Minecraft 1.12, Java 8 will be required to run Minecraft. If you don't know whether you have Java 8, don't worry - our installers supply Minecraft with its own version of Java by default.". However, you might still need to install Java if you plan on using Forge or Optifine.
