Best way to move X-Box account to a different Microsoft Account

pecorElettriche · Mar 24, 2021

Hello everyone. Hope you can help me with this.

My nephew (11yo) has been playing Fortnite on our X-Box using my Microsoft account, so far.

As
his parents want to keep his online time under control, we've decided
to implement Family Controls, but we cannot limit the admin account;
hence the idea of creating a new Microsoft account for my nephew, adding
it to the family accounts.

The
problem: is it possible to move his X-Box account to a new and
different Microsoft account, so that he won't lose any
point/level/whatever he's reached in the game? And what would it be the
way(s) to do it?

Thanks

:)

Hi Jamie.

Thanks for your reply.

From what I understand, there's no way to transfer all to a secundary different account, right? The only possible thing is to change the primary account itself, by changing email address. Is there a way to demote that account to simple member, then, instead of admin (so that normal time limitations and scheduling are possible)?

And what about the X-Box Live Gold membership, also connected to the primary account? Will changin account information affect it in any way?

Thanks

Unfortunately, there is not an option on the Xbox One to move a Gamertag from one Microsoft account to another. However, you would need to contact official support and see if they can do anything to help you out with moving your Gamertag to that other MSA

you cant change xbox accounts linked to epic, epic changed this early last year, once an xbox account is linked to epic then thats it, it can be unlinked but cannot have a different xbox account linked to that epic account, they did this to stop people getting around bans and keeping all their stuff.
