Can I Create Multiple MS Accounts and/or Xbox Profiles?

"bypass a ban"? you mean using another account to play while your account is temporarily suspended by those xbox subscription suspension enforcements?

well, but no bans anyway... so creating and using multiple accounts in one single xbox console (or windows pc) doesn't break any rules?

that's because i found an old answer in reddit (i'm not sure where) about MS allowing creating a max of 5 accounts for IP. this couldn't be real nowadays because a big family wouldn't be able to sign up.

and this answer did lead me to think if there is some offside about one having multiple accounts in ToS. maybe to take advantage of free storage (a sum of multiple accounts to store data) or trial subscriptions. well...

for example: i have ms 365 family subscription. this gives me 1tb of data for each of 6 members. what if i create 5 more accounts and use all those 6tb myself? oO

You can't create one to bypass a ban, but otherwise, there's no rules against making multiple accounts.

Hi Carrie. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

To create an Xbox profile you need a Microsoft account. When you create a new Xbox profile on a new account you are creating a Microsoft account, not an Xbox account.

The login details for the Xbox profile are the same as the Microsoft account, so then it asks to sign in with his MS account you can use the details he entered when creating his Xbox profile.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

You have to unassocciate the profile you created on xbox.com from the microsoft account you created for him. From his profile on the xbox, join live and join that account to the MS profile.

This is a mistake many make, so don't feel bad about it. Creating an account via the website here is a completely unnecessary step.

To do this, you have to go into the profile created on the website and change the microsoft account email off of it so that ms account is free to be linked to your son's gamertag. This may require created a new dummy ms account just to attach to the unwanted
account, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Hi there,

-

you can only remove an xbox live account from a Microsoft account, by moving the profile to a different Microsoft account.

So the way to go is:

1 download the profile that is currently on the Microsoft Account to a Microsoft console

2 wait 30 days (after a profile is downloaded it can only be moved to a different MS account after 30 days (this is a security measure.

3 Create a new Microsoft account (be sure not to use if on a windows phone, windows 8 pc, xbox console, or xbox.com)

4 Move the profile on the MS account to that newly created MS account

5 Now you should be able to move your 'old' profile to that just freed up Microsoft Account.
