Account access with new email address as primary

Thank you. That was helpful.

Hey MichaelMarcus3.

Thank you for reaching out to the forum. Yes, that is possible. Here is a guide to Change email
sign in for microsoft account.

Hope that solves your issue.

Unfortunately there is no way to merge to accounts. But you can add your new email address to your existing live account.

Easiest way is to add your new email address to the Microsoft account where your gamertag is bounded to. Then set this email address as primary address there. Before you can set it as primary email address you have to delete your new live account of course.
You will then be able to log in to your pc and to your Xbox with the new primary email address.

You can do this at: http://account.live.com

So, If I'm understanding your question, you have a gamertag tied your dad's email address that you want to tie to your email address instead, right?

In theory, as long as you have access to both accounts, you should be able to change the associated email addresses(s). You'll need to login to your old Microsoft account (dads) and change the primary email alias to the new email address you want to use.
Before you can do that, you will need to login to your new account (with the email you want to use) and change the primary email alias to some other email account you have. Then, have your dad login to his account and change the primary email alias to the
email you want to use instead. He would be forfeiting his account to you, but that is the only way to keep the old gamertag with your new email address. Keep in mind, if he is the primary account over a family of Microsoft accounts, this would transfer everything
to you... in theory.

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.
