Cant create xbox account with existing microsoft account

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Daniel, Microsoft account and Xbox account are the same.

If you have your Microsoft account active to create your Xbox profile with Gamertag linked, simply log in with the account on an Xbox console or on the Xbox website via a web browser.

you can't change the xbox account to an existing outlook account, you would need to create a new account during the alias creation. your outlook account is already a microsoft account and therefore already has an xbox account etc.

you cant transfer accounts from one email to another.

Do you mean an existing account or create a new one?

If you mean existing account you cant save it on a USB and bring it to your xbox

You need to download it directly on the xbox

If you mean create a new account it's best to create it on the console then install it on the pc so that you get trial period for gold

You have it correct. WLID1 is now in limbo.

Catch 22 if you will

WLID1 cant recover an account bc an account does not exist and can't create an account bc an account already exists.

you cant simply transfer a gamertag from one microsoft account to another, it is the microsoft account that holds all the info regarding purchases etc etc.

when you create a new microsoft account it automatically creates a new gamertag with a random name.

you can add a new email address to your existing microsoft account as an alias and even make that the primary email.
