    If I change the Microsoft account on my Xbox 360 profile, do I lose my games and content?


    As I mentioned in the title, I have owned this Xbox 360 for the better part of 11 years. Of course, being a child I had to use a guardian's email for the Xbox live profile which now has a plethora of games I would like to use my own Microsoft account to access. If I do this via the settings (Change Microsoft-Account,) will this delete the content or will it stay localized on the Xbox 360's profile?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just don't want to lose the sentimental value and actual value of the content on this 360.

    :)

    yes easier changing profile but then you do lose al your downloaded content as microsoft is kinda to tight *** to allow them accoss other accounts.

    But thanks for both of your replies.

    Can I remove my Xbox live account without deleting any content from it?

    Hi there,

    I like to add that this is only possible when the profile on the Xbox 360 is a Xbox account, if the profile is an offline profile (so not attached to an email (Microsoft Account/ Xbox Account) then removing the account will result in permanently losing that profile and access to any save games attached to it.
