  1. Can you switch your xbox games and data from one email to another?


    I've been trying to find a way to change all of my games and progress from one email to another; as my parents signed in with their account since I was a minor. Yet, now that I am an adult I am trying to get the progress to my own account but can't find a way to do so.

    Another question that I have is how to separate accounts. Like myself my dad also made an epic games account for my brother with the same email, so whenever I try to sign in to his (my) account it always goes to my brother's epic games account. Is there a way to choose which account to log into.

    Transfer gamertag from one microsoft account to another

    Unfortunately this is not possible and since your email is a Microsoft email (Live, Hotmail or Outlook) you can't switch the email to another one and have the account not be connected to that email anymore, technically.

    You can switch the login emails around but you CAN'T switch TO a Microsoft email when you do this (Live, Hotmail or Outlook). You can switch to another email provider but you can't switch between Microsoft emails as they're permanently connected to that
    account they were created on. For example, you can't switch this account's email login to another Microsoft account because that email is attached to a Microsoft account already.

    The only solution is to start over and have him create a new account and have the account that owns all the games to be set as the my home xbox account on the xbox one so that the new account can play all the games that account owns BUT the saves and any
    progress will not move over and some DLC will not share, also.

    move my son's xbox stuff off my account

    HI Jon,

    Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We see you have question on transferring data. Unfortunately, you are unable to transfer games, data, etc. from one account to another. Doubt this will ever change as it is way too much hassle to move all
    data from one account to another. You can however set up home consoleon your profile
    so your son is able to access all the games on his new profile. Only downside he will need to start over on the games.

    As you already added his email as primary personally I would leave yours on. The only thing you will get is notification emails when a purchase is made. If your email is an outlook, Hotmail, or other Microsoft domain yes it will be deleted if you remove
    the email entirely.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    transfering from 1 microsoft account to another

    Hi there,

    -

    Like x24hrs2livex mentions, you can not merge accounts, you will have to start everything from scratch.

    Gamerscore, saved games, gamertag, purchases can not be moved.

    If your goal was to move that xbox live account connected to your fathers email address to your own address, you should have used the steps on this link:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account
    these steps will move a xbox live account from one email (Microsoft Account) to another.

    -

    You can still do this, but you will first need to move the newly created xbox live account to another Microsoft Account to free up your email address. (See the Notes part on that link)

    Deleting a Microsoft account

    If you delete the account, you loose everything associated with it. Including the email address.

    You can't transfer one Microsoft Email address from one Microsoft Account to another. You can switch out email address if the email addresses are not Microsoft ones.

    I am trying to swap an older Gamertag to my current email which already has a Gamertag linked.

    Hi Sean! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

    Please be informed that switching alias or email doesn't mean your game data or account data will be switched as well. Your game data will remain on the original account with different alias.
