  1. Cannot change primary email as it is a typo...


    I created this account years and years ago on xbox 360. I have all my achievements and a few purchases here. Problem is when i created this in like 9th grade I typo'd the email address as *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***...surprised there was no field validation but regardless
    as this email is not real and never could be I cannot verify it in order to add a new address to the account.

    Called support a few times and they refuse to do anything about it but dont seem to have any issue making purchases on the account. I would really like to get this fixed and this is about my last option.

    Thanks

    :)

    typo in my Windows Live ID

    My original Windows Live ID has a typo in it which is causing me to not receive emails from XBOX Live, I have attempted to correct the ID thru my account, but it is trying to send a link to verify the change and the link is being sent to the email address
    with the typo in it, thus I cannot get or follow the link to verify the change. How can I correct this. The email or ID address should end in @comcast.net but it is incorrectly spelled as @comast.net (missing the second letter "c"), the gamertag is C0dfish44.
    Thanks.

    Unlink Child Account to add to new Family Account

    So you are trying to have your account switched to a different email? If so you cannot change your primary email. Though you can add accounts to your account and make them primary. Yes that sounded confusing so ill say this... the email you used will always
    be linked to your account as number one primary, but you can add another to be second primary... just sign into your live account on microsoft.com and manage account, there you will see "emails associated with this account"

    Have a new offline profile that I want to associate with a Live account that is used on a different profile

    You cannot transfer data from one account to another. You can change the primary email associated with the accounts though. Which may be helpful depending on what you're trying to do.

    The link explaining how to change the primary email address is here

    how do i transfer data over from 1 email to another

    Actually, that can only be possible if you still have access to the primary email because it will need to be verified first before you can change the alias. So if you still have access to the primary email, you can always change that to a different alias but if not, you cannot change that anymore and rely on your security proofs for recovery access.

    Changing primary emails

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

    Do you have access to both accounts?

    You need to have access to those two accounts to perform the steps. Please note that it is only applicable if your main email address is a 3rd party email address and is not a Microsoft email address. We cannot transfer a Microsoft email address from one account to another.

    If that was 3rd party, you have to sign it in via https://account.microsoft.com/ > Your info > Edit account info. You have to add a new email address to free up your main email address so you can add it to your current Xbox account.

    Transfer gamertag from one microsoft account to another

    You can change the primary email associated with the account, But you cannot transfer data or sell the account to someone else. That's against the Xbox code of conduct
