    How do I switch Microsoft Account email


    I made a Microsoft account for Minecraft and everything was fine. When I got a computer and tried to download Minecraft however, it created a new Microsoft account with the same email. Both Microsoft accounts have Minecraft but are linked to the same email. If I want to log into one account it kicks me to the other. I don't know how this happened but now I can't change it. I don't want to remove either account. I just want the 2 accounts separate from each other (one with one email and the other with a different email). I can't seem to find a solution or a situation that is similar to mine. If anyone can help me please do

    (I would delete the second account but it is already past the return window for Minecraft and I don't have the computer no longer)

    Edit: After trying to unlink the email address associated with the account, I only made it worse. There are now 3 accounts linked to 2 different emails. I no longer have access to my main account or my computer account. It created another account and half deleted the other 2. I still have them linked to my Minecraft but whenever I click on "Manage Account" it sends me to the newly made account that I don't want it linked to.

    Summary: Minecraft account is not linked correctly. I have 2 Xbox accounts with the same email so when I try to edit/obtain a reward for one account it sends it to the other. Trying to change emails didn't work and now I have a 3rd account linked to the same email/phone number. All I want is an account with my main stuff and a different account for my computer stuff (two Minecraft, two Xbox accounts, two Microsoft accounts. both separate). Instead I got a mess (two Minecraft, 1 Microsoft account, 3 Xbox accounts. All linked to the same email/phone number)

    :)

    How do I switch email accounts?

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Trevor, unfortunately you can't merge accounts.

    However what you can do is, if you want to use the account that you have to play and that has all your game licenses also to send emails, just start using it for this, but if you do not like the email that it has, you can exchange the email of that account, you can make an exchange of Alias.

    But the Alias can't be from this second account you own.

    Add or remove an email alias in Outlook.com

    Transferring my Gamertag to my new hotmail account, even though there is now a Gamertag on my new account???? seriously stressed. lol

    Hey there.

    How long ago did you set up the other account? You can transfer a gamertag from one email to another, but it can only be done once every 30 days.

    -

    You'll need a third Email account so you can do the switching.

    Detailed steps on how to do the transfer can be found here:

    I hope this helps.
