    Change email address for Xbox live account


    Hello everyone

    I need some help with my Xbox live account.

    At the moment my Xbox live account is set up with my dads email address. Every time I want to sign in online I have to use his email address and password which is a pain!

    I would like to change the email address I use for my Xbox live account. Basically associate my Xbox like account to my email address instead of my dads.

    I've looked all over the internet trying what it suggests but none of it works.

    Bare in mind my dad doesn't want to loose his email address.

    Thanks!

    :)

    How to Change your Xbox LIVE account information

    Overview

    It is possible to change information associated with your Xbox LIVE account like your name, address, phone number or email address.

    Note: You cannot change the country that is associated with your Xbox LIVE account. If you have moved to another country and you would like to access Xbox LIVE from there, you have to create a new Xbox LIVE account in your new location.

    How to Change your name, address, phone number or email on Xbox.com

    1) Go to My Account and Sign In with your Microsoft Account. (This is the email and password that is associated with your Xbox LIVE account).

    2) Make the changes you want to your billings account information and then click Save.

    How to Change your name, address, phone number or email on your console.

    1) Sign in using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.

    2) Proceed to Settings, and then select Account.

    3) Select Your Information, and then go to Billing Information.

    4) Sign In with your Microsoft account password.

    5) Change your billing account information and then click Done.

    In case you want to change the billing name on your Xbox LIVE account, go to Xbox.com

    A question I have about Xbox Live

    A question I have is when I sign in on my Xbox 360 to my Xbox Live account in the top right corner it shows your emblem along with a rotation of my gamertag name, achievement numbers, money I have on my account, and my email address linked to the account. But for some reason it doesn't show my email address when it's rotating through and instead just shows blank nothing until the next thing comes up in the rotation when it should show my email address in the rotation.

    Change email address for Xbox live account

    Hi there,

    When signed into the account when you go to
    account.microsoft.com     > You Info > Manage your Sign-in email or phone number > Add email alias - are you getting an error when you add your email address to the account?

    You need to add the new email and make it the primary email before you remove an email address.

    Wrong email entered when first signed up for live, what now?

    You will need to change the email address on the "dummy" account to something else, so that is becomes free to use with another account. Then you will be cable to change the email address on your main gamertag using this
    email address.

    To change the email address, go on your Xbox, select Account Management and then Windows LIVE ID.

    Transferring sons Xbox gamertag from my Hotmail account to my Xbox .gmail account.

    Hi there,

    the only thing you can change is the email address used to sign into a Microsoft Account (Xbox Live Account), this will only change the email address used to sign into the account. (It doesn't transfer the full Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft
    Account)

    The steps to change the email address can be found here:
    https://support.xbox.com/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

    Changing gamertags, will only result in a different gamertag, it does not change the account or take any save game progress with it.

    Is the change sign-ing email address option what you seek or do you want to achieve something else?

    deactivation

    If you want your old email address on your new account try following the steps on this page:

    support.xbox.com/.../change-xbox-live-account-info

    However, If I'm reading your question correctly you will need a third email to act as the go between. So you should do something like this

    1)Create new email address

    2)Change email address of old account to newly created email

    3)Change email address of new account to the email you want to use.

    Merge two accounts?

    Hi there,

    you can't merge accounts itself or fully move the Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft Account, but something that could work for you is changing the primary email address for the Microsoft Account.

    My assumption what steps might be required are:

    - Change the primary email on the New Unused Xbox Account account to something else (you might need a new MS account/email for that) so that the Wanted email address is no longer attached to a Microsoft Account.

    - Change the primary email on the Old Xbox account to the new wanted email address, so that that Wanted email address can be used to sign in to the Xbox main account.

    See this link for the full information on how to change the primary email address on a Microsoft Account
