  1. My little brothers Microsoft uses my primary email account. How can I change this?


    Many years ago I let my brother use my primary email (Email A) to make his Xbox account. I was using a yahoo email (Email B) for my Xbox and Microsoft account. Now he is older and has his own email and phone number. I would like my primarily email to be on my account as it has caused a myriad of issues for me. For example I no longer have access to Email B as yahoo deleted it due to inactivity, I can’t log into my epic games account on my personal Xbox because my epic games is on Email A, and I can’t use my Microsoft for work since I no longer can log in on new devices. I have full access to his Microsoft (he’s a minor and he allowed me to do so) how can I change the email on his account, so that I can then make my account use my Email A. I want to do this without deleting his account so all his games are not lost.

    :)

    Transfer Progress Or SImilar

    Yes you can change the original email address. This process is called changing the primary alias. The primary alias is the email address that is used to sign in to the account. The article explains how to complete this process.

    Merge two accounts?

    Hi there,

    you can't merge accounts itself or fully move the Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft Account, but something that could work for you is changing the primary email address for the Microsoft Account.

    My assumption what steps might be required are:

    - Change the primary email on the New Unused Xbox Account account to something else (you might need a new MS account/email for that) so that the Wanted email address is no longer attached to a Microsoft Account.

    - Change the primary email on the Old Xbox account to the new wanted email address, so that that Wanted email address can be used to sign in to the Xbox main account.

    See this link for the full information on how to change the primary email address on a Microsoft Account
