Change of email address for an xbox account

Just change the email address on xbox account 2 to some free email address and once that is done change the email address on Account 1 to the address that was on account 2.

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.

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.

the microsoft account is the email and xbox account, if your parents used their account to create your xbox account then they still own that account, changing the primary email and deleting their email address just basically means changed your parents email address and if they had used their original address to sign into other services across the net then you have just broken all of that.

as you changed the email address the email inbox will still belong to them and they will still receive emails.

you need to create your own account.

Accounts cannot be merged. You would need to change the email address of account 2 to a 3rd email address to free up Account 2s email address. Then you can change the email address of account 1 to the email address previously used on account 2.
