If I purchase Minecraft Windows 10 edition, do I get a Minecraft/Mojang account?
In other words, can I then play the older desktop edition as well?
(I know that the Windows 10 Minecraft is similar to Pocket Edition Minecraft. Advantages of the desktop edition include the ability to "mod", and the ability to load/save and share worlds. I would like to have those capabilities on Windows 10.).

You get a free Minecraft for Windows 10 account if you already have a regular Minecraft account. You just have to go to the website and enter your credentials and then it will activate it for Windows 10.
You will not get an old account to play the old Minecraft however. You will have to buy the new one for $10, but the old one will cost another $20 or so.
