    Can I change the email of only the Xbox account and not the entire Microsoft account?


    Since I was little, I used my dad's account to play games and such and over the years I've built up a lot of progress and spent a lot of money on this account. Now that my little brother is old enough, we need to make a new account but my dad wants to use his email. The problem that I've found is that it looks like it would take away ownership of his Microsoft account which is not what I want to happen. I only want the Xbox account so I can keep my stuff while he can keep his things for Microsoft and use his email for a new account. Is there a way for me to unlink the Xbox account from his email and link it to mine?

    :)

    The Microsoft account and the Xbox account are basically one in the same. They cannot be separated. One of you will have to start over fresh if you wish to use separate accounts.

    the xbox account IS the microsoft account, the microsoft account covers all microsofts services.

    Transferring sons Xbox gamertag from my Hotmail account to my Xbox .gmail account.

    Hi there,

    the only thing you can change is the email address used to sign into a Microsoft Account (Xbox Live Account), this will only change the email address used to sign into the account. (It doesn't transfer the full Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft
    Account)

    The steps to change the email address can be found here:
    https://support.xbox.com/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account


    Changing gamertags, will only result in a different gamertag, it does not change the account or take any save game progress with it.

    Is the change sign-ing email address option what you seek or do you want to achieve something else?

    Changing email

    Hi, you can only change the email of your Microsoft account, that will then change the email for any of the services that are associated with your account (XBOX, Office, Windows, etc, etc) https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

    Is it possible to move Xbox Live/Games for Windows Live Gamertag from one MS Account to Another Microsoft Account Email?

    Many thanks Brad,

    Does that make the Microsoft email deleted and not just the Microsoft Account? I was under the impression that the only way you can delete a Microsoft Email and Skype service for example is by deleting the entire Microsoft account.

    The problem is this will delete Xbox Live account as well. This is why I was thinking whether changing the Xbox Live Gamertag profile alias to another primary email such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc and then deleting the Microsoft Account will not erase the Xbox Live
    profile? Or will that go away too?

    Also I thought there was a 60 day window period if in case you were to delete an email or MS account if you log back in the deletion process will be reverted. But no where does it say that you can keep Xbox Live account but be able to delete Microsoft account
    alongside the Microsoft email. This is where I am getting confused.
