  1. Change Microsoft Acct associated with gamertag


    My son has been using my husbands microsoft account for years on his xbox/xbox live account. I have created a new microsoft account for my son and I cannot figure out how to switch and connect my sons account with his gamertag.

    Thanks

    :)

    you can't, the xbox account IS the microsoft account, he will need to start over, you could have created a child account when he first started gaming.

    there is no way to transfer anything.

    as long as your husbands account is set as home then he can access all the content from a new account, but name, cheevos and all stats will not transfer.

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community.

    Unfortunately, you can't do that, as the Microsoft account is the Xbox profile, they will be linked forever.

    Games and content from one account cannot be transferred to others unless you set the old account as the primary home on your child's Xbox, but he will still have his account statistics reset, like gamerscore number and other things.

    *To set the old account as the main home, just follow the instructions below.

    With the Xbox One turned on, press the “Xbox” button on the controller;

    In the menu, navigate to the “Profile & System” tab (the one with your avatar photo);

    Click on “Settings”, “General”, “Customization”, “My Main Xbox”;

    Click “Set this Xbox as the primary” and then “Set this Xbox as the primary”.

    Change email address for the Xbox account

    You can update and change the e-mail address associated with your acct/gamertag by going to live.com I believe.

    Passwords and security features can be changed, and if I remember correctly, there is a 30-day pending period your acct goes through to verify it is you making the changes.

    I had to deal with that upon returning to live last Winter.

    You'd only be essentially "adding" a new e-mail address, not so much swapping everything over to a new MS acct.

    Kind of like ADDING a different payment method to make purchases.

    Whereas switching and controlling from a totally separate Microsoft acct with no or different gamertag associated, I don't think is possible.
