  1. Change connected email-addess of a Minecraft account / can't setup a new account - "not a...


    Hi there,

    I moved my Minecraft-Account (as forced) to an outlook-account.

    I would like to change this linked email now to a new/different account. In other words: How do I connect a minecraft-Gamertag to a different email address?

    And I have several problems....

    First and important: I don't want to change anything about the existing email-address, as I use this one regularly.

    Second: I figured that I probably need a new microsoft/outlook-account: how can I pass the "not a robot" test? I tried several browsers and after clicking all of the pictures it resets and I have to start new. I even tried the audio-test. If I click deliberate on wrong ones, I'll get the note, that I did it wrong. But if I click all correct, it just resets. And I can't create a new account. What can I do?

    Third: How can I migrate my existing Gamertag to another/new email account? I can't find help sites covering this topic. I only find help sites, how to close my account. This is not what I want, just change the email-address which is used to log into Minecraft.

    Somehow it is not possible for me to contact microsoft-help-contact, always show not available for me (maybe because I am not from the States) and the AI-help buggs, even tells me that it has technical problems Change connected email-addess of a Minecraft account / can't setup a new account - "not a... :D Minecraft-help-desk already told me, they are not responsible for Minecraft-Customers for moving their accounts...

    Please let me know if you need more information. I'll appreciate every idea where to look up and find help.

    Thank you everybody.

    :)

    Change connected email-addess of a Minecraft account / can't setup a new account - "not a robot" won't let me pass

    Hi George and thanks for your try to help,

    so basically, no it is not possible?!

    Because as I said, I don't want to change anything about my existing account (not even an alias, no). I just want my game I paid for connect to another email-address.

    Well thanks MS for ...nothing. I didn't even paid you guys. Now I have two Minecraft accounts and have to buy a third one so my nieces can have their game back. This is how business works...

    Change connected email-addess of a Minecraft account / can't setup a new account - "not a robot" won't let me pass

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

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello, as you have migrated from your Minecraft account to your Microsoft account you can tap the email if you want.

    First and important: I don't want to change anything about the existing email-address, as I use this one regularly.

    Answer: what you have to do is exchange or add Alias to your account, if you want it to be from your Microsoft account you will have to create the alias on the spot.

    Add or remove an email alias in Outlook.com

    Second: I figured that I probably need a new microsoft/outlook-account: how can I pass the "not a robot" test? I tried several browsers and after clicking all of the pictures it resets and I have to start new. I even tried the audio-test. If I click deliberate on wrong ones, I'll get the note, that I did it wrong. But if I click all correct, it just resets. And I can't create a new account. What can I do?

    Answer: You don't need to create an account to add the Alias you want, this process is done when adding Alias.

    Third: How can I migrate my existing Gamertag to another/new email account? I can't find help sites covering this topic. I only find help sites, how to close my account. This is not what I want, just change the email-address which is used to log into Minecraft.

    you can't migrate a Gamertag from one account to another, the most you can do is switch the existing Gamertag from your account to a new one.

    If you change your old Gamertag, you'll be suspended for an indefinite period from Microsoft, and you won't be able to add it to another account.

    So only change a Gamertag if you're sure you want to change it.

    If you have any more questions or questions, don't hesitate to ask.

    Windows Live ID Issue!

    To remove that gamertag that is connected to your 'main' email (Microsoft Account), just change the connected gamertag connected to a new Microsoft account.

    -

    So first free up your 'correct' email address by moving the connected gamertag to a new Microsoft Account

    and after that you should be able to change the 'email' (Microsoft Account) for your main gamertag to your 'correct' email address (Microsoft Account)

    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.

    Changing associated WLID without an XBOX Console

    As in my ninja edit, you also can't change the Windows LIve ID for the first three months of an accounts life, since for some reason the creation of the account counts as a "change" of the ID.

    It shouldn't merge anything, as if an email address is already connected to another account you can't use it. To swap addresses between two active accounts you'd need to bring a third into play.

    With the first account change email 1 to email 3.

    This frees up email 1 to be switched for email 2 connected to the second account.
