    Hi,

    this is really bad. Gold-membership, downloads, founds etc. is bound to your Microsoft Account, not to the Gamertag and can not be moved to an other Microsoft account.

    As long as you have access to your Gamertag, you can move it to an other Microsoft Account.

    Here is a step by step instruction to move your Gamertag to an other Microsoft Account.

    Move a Gamertag to an other account

    you can only do this through your 360, at the moment there does not seem to be a way to move it using your xbox one and there is no way of doing it through your xbox.xom profile. Considering it is all one account it is a little rediculous that everything
    is so divided between the different microsoft hardwares and operating systems!

    I think now i understand the problem of toxxicity.

    You have set a mail adress of your provider as primary mail adress whith which one you are logging in at your Xbox or at xbox.com. Right?

    The mail adress is the primary alias of the microsoft account and can be changed at

    account.live.com
    .

    You can create there a new alias adress and set it as your primary alias.

    With this new primary alias you are able to log on at the Xbox One, xbox.com or other services of Microsoft.

    Hello mate so this a really easy fix. So all you need to do is go onto your Xbox 360 and go to the Dashboard than all the way to the right under the settings tab on the dashboard there it says Account click on that. There you will see Account Security click
    that. Than click Change Microsoft Account.

    So (Dashboard-Account-Account Security-Change Microsoft Account. And then enter the new email address you wish to use for your GamerTag.

    I hope this help's you Fix your Problem.

    Hi all,

    I saw response of fastviper75, does it means downloaded DLCs, available money and gold account will be lost with the change of the email ?

    Thanks

    If you log on to your Microsoft account, add another email as an alias & change it to primary (if you can - Bell Sympatico users appear to be restricted from doing so) before removing the unwanted email that should now be just an alias then you shouldn't
    lose anything.

    If you move the gamer tag to a completely different Microsoft account (if you can... see above) then you'll have to sacrifice any currency remaining in your account. Everything else should transfer over to the other Microsoft account according to other postings
    in various forums as those follow the gamer tag. If you have a large balance of currency then I suggest you spend it as best you can before moving the gamer tag (to be clear, this ONLY applies if MOVING the GT, adding/changing alias email as mentioned above
    doesn't have this issue).

    @bousfamily:

    Sri to say, but fastviper is wrong on that issue. All downloads, memberships and purchases are bounded to your gamertag, not your live account and also not to your email. So it is no problem to whether change the primary email alias on your live account
    or have your gamertag transferred to an other live account. Just did that with mine a few weeks ago.

    The only thing not being transferred are credits you eventually may have on your account.

    Sri, the last sentence is only relevant of you transfer your gamertag to an other live account, not if you just change the primary email alias of your existing account. This is because payment options are bounded to the live account and not the gamertag.

    You can try to set up your new email address as primary email address in your old account at
    http://account.live.com

    But für this you have to delete the account with your new email address before, what will also delete any subscriptions bounded with your PC account. Merging two accounts of not possible yet.
