Is it possible to switch emails from your Xbox account?

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to change the email address of your account.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectations properly, when changing an email/alias there is a need for you to have access to the account to make the changes.

Therefore the first thing to do is to reset the password of the account.

To recover your account please visit this page to be guided with the process:

In here you will be given the steps and instructions as well on how to regain access to your account.

Here is the direct link to reset the password of the account: https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx

When you submit a recovery request online, please provide the nearest answer to all the asked questions.

And it is important to not leave any questions unanswered.

Please be guided with the steps and instructions on how to answer the account recovery form.

A friendly reminder, I do not have a direct access to your account and if incase that the steps won't work please reach Microsoft Support: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us for further assistance regarding the recovering your account.

Thank you for your cooperation. Have a great day!

You can't switch gtags among different accounts. The only possible change is the ability to change the email address associated with your account

Unfortunately this is not possible and since your email is a Microsoft email (Live, Hotmail or Outlook) you can't switch the email to another one and have the account not be connected to that email anymore, technically.

You can switch the login emails around but you CAN'T switch TO a Microsoft email when you do this (Live, Hotmail or Outlook). You can switch to another email provider but you can't switch between Microsoft emails as they're permanently connected to that
account they were created on. For example, you can't switch this account's email login to another Microsoft account because that email is attached to a Microsoft account already.

The only solution is to start over and have him create a new account and have the account that owns all the games to be set as the my home xbox account on the xbox one so that the new account can play all the games that account owns BUT the saves and any
progress will not move over and some DLC will not share, also.

Please follow the instructions at the link below. Be sure to note the possible issues that could prevent you from moving your tag to another email address.

Hi! My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Once an email address has been added to a Microsoft account, it cannot be associated with another account, even if you delete the account or remove the email.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to merge accounts or switch the account that's associated with your Xbox profile.
