change gamertag in win 10

KatrinBlue1109 · Jun 16, 2019

Windows 10 is connected to my google-account. But I want to use my old hotmail-account for the gamertag to play. I click on the button in the upper corner of a game, a window opens called xbox konsole-begleiter (don't know the english term), where I can
change my account (from gogglemail to hotmail). So far, so good. BUT in game (!) e.g. Microsoft Jingsaw, i'm still logged in with the account, windows is logged in (google). If I click on the gamertag in game, I come back to xbox konsole-begleiter, where I'm
STILL logged in with the other one (hotmail), while the game still says, it's goggle. I made clear, windows 10 know both of my accounts, but it doesn't seams to understand, that both of it is me. Or can I somehow connect each other?

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you are having this problem.

So, do you have a Microsoft account with a google alias? You can add new aliases or other sign in methods via this link:

Change the email address that you use to sign in to your Microsoft account

I hope this helps.

Nice Idea, but it doesn't work. I tried to add the hotmail-adress to the google-account, so it says something (in German) it is "already a registered domaine", what ever that means. And when I tried to add the google-adress to the hotmail account, it says,
it's already in use. To make a new (third) account make no sense.

Can I somehow add one adress to the other in the xbox-app itself (xbox konsole-begleiter)?

ok so what you will want to do is sign into the parent account at account.xbox.com

click on your gamertag in the upper right corner and click on xbox settings in the drop down

click on privacy and online safety

this should bring up a page with your gamertag and your families gamertag you would click your kids gamertag

and click on the win 10 and xbox one settings and you would want to go in and change it so that they can play multiplayer games.

Additionally, I've noticed an extra step. When you click to log in, it will try to use the same account you just signed out of. But let it go and you'll get a confirmation box that pops up that says "Lets Play." On this box, you should see a small link to
use a different account, or it might say "not you?" It's fairly convoluted and something I hope to see improved in the future.
