Adding another alias to Microsoft account.

Hello, KNightmareFoxy. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

The answer to your question is a No, according to the manage aliases article, you can’t add an email address that's associated with a work or school account as an alias.

In addition to that, existing Hotmail, Live, Outlook.com, and MSN addresses can't be added as aliases, and you can't add an alias that is already associated with another Microsoft account.

Thanks for your time,

Hello Khaji,

I appreciate your answer but it didn’t really answer my question if I could add another Microsoft email and have it be my primary if I have a gmail as my primary.

Hello KNightmareFoxy, My name is Khaji I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

Yes, it is possible to add another email to your main Microsoft account and make it your primary email address. If you want to add a Gmail email as your primary address, you can follow these steps:

Sign in to your Microsoft account on the official Microsoft website
https://account.microsoft.com
using your current email address and password.

Once you're signed in, go to the "Your Information" or "Account Information" section in your account settings. There should be an option to manage your aliases or email addresses.

Look for the option to add a new alias or email address and follow the instructions provided. In this case, select the option to add a Gmail email.

Follow the steps to add your Gmail email address as a primary alias in your Microsoft account. You may be asked to verify Gmail email ownership to ensure you have access to it.

Once you've successfully added Gmail email and set it as your primary address, you can delete your Microsoft email address if you wish. Please note that deleting your email address from Microsoft may have consequences, such as losing access to services or information associated with that address.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

According to Microsoft when you remove an alias it cannot be re-added, added to another account, or recycled. I recommend creating a new alias and adding your account.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there.

I'm Wille, an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

There is no possibility of transferring a game to another account, access is unique and exclusive to that account.

Now, some users often create an alias within their Microsoft account. Alias has the same features and signatures added to the account as it only changes how you log in, however it is the same account.

There is more information in the link below:

If you think about making this alias the default, and removing the old one. Be careful because:

- If you remove an alias that's an email address from a Microsoft domain (like @hotmail.com, @live.com, @outlook.com, or @msn.com), you're permanently deleting the alias and it can't be associated with any Microsoft account again.

- If you're removing a primary alias, you'll need to choose another primary alias before it can be removed.

- If you remove an email address from a non-Microsoft domain (like @gmail.com), then it usually becomes immediately available to be added as an alias on another Microsoft account.

I hope these information helps somehow. Feel free to let us know if you have further questions or concerns and we will try with our knowledge to offer assistance.

Hugs!
