Change email associated with Xbox

Im trying to add my son’s email ending in @hotmail.com to his Xbox. Previously it was mine ending @hotmail.com.

I’ve gone to add his email address as an alias then remove mine.

Firstly, it won’t allow me to because it says “this email is part of a reserved domain” and secondly if I remove my email from his Xbox account that’s not going to stop access to my personal Microsoft account is it?

It won't let you add an already existing Microsoft email as the primary alias. Thats normal and there isnt any way around that.

If you remove your email from the xbox account then YES it WILL stop your access to it forever.

Per https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...nt/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

Warning When removing an email alias that’s connected to a Microsoft domain (such as @Outlook.com, @Live.com, or @Hotmail.com), that email is completely deleted from our systems and can’t be used to send or receive emails. It won’t be available for use again as an alias on another account. Microsoft doesn’t recycle email addresses, so it can’t be reclaimed at a future time.

Thank you for your reply.

So until the end of time, my son has to use my hotmail account to sign into his Xbox!?

Is there anyway to change the associated email without having to do it on the Xbox?

Hello,

It means you already have a Xbox Account associated to your Email you put in for your new account. Try using another email. Or change the email address of the account associated with the Email you are trying to use.
