Change of email address on xbox

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.

Do you have an Xbox account too? Or did you just set up his account with your email?

If your email was just used to set up his account, then you should be able to change it to something else by going through the steps on the following support page:

Hello Bryan,

Nilay here and I'm glad to answer your query today.

1. Sign in to your Hotmail email via https://account.microsoft.com.
2. Go to Your info at the top of the page.
3. Select Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.
4. Select Add email. You can create either a new Outlook.com email address or add an address that you already have. Then, select Add alias. After you’re returned to the previous screen, select Verify, and then follow the instructions that are provided.

Once done, make sure to select the new email address as the primary alias because removing the old email which is your Hotmail will delete the whole Microsoft account including the Xbox profile.

Select a new primary before you remove the old one. To do so, select one of the other aliases that are on the account, and then select Make primary.

Hey there, Michelle Bennett2

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Each Microsoft account has an Xbox account associated with it. If your ex-husband used your email address when signing into Xbox, then he will need to create a new account. The only problem with this is that he would need to start over, which will include purchases that are on your account as the games he has purchased using your account are tied to your account.

I know this is the information you, or your ex, will be wanting to read. However, there isn't a way to transfer content from one account to another.

Hi Shane Irvine

Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the community.

I understand you are having trouble with your Xbox gaming account, and I understand your confusion.

Are you currently able to log in to your account normally by changing your password? If possible, based on the needs you describe, there are two situations for reference:

1. For those who only need the account name, if the account name is a third-party email (such as Gmail), you can add the child's father's email address as the alias of the account and set the alias as the main alias, and then delete the alias you used when registering. Can be released. After release, use this email address to register a Microsoft account again. It should be noted that this situation only applies to the child's father's email account that is not registered as a Microsoft account email and the account name you registered is a third-party email. If Microsoft's own Outlook email is deleted permanently, it will not be registered as an email name again.The methods of adding and deleting are as shown in the following URL:Add or remove an email alias in Outlook.com - Microsoft Support

2.If you need this account, there is no other way to change it. The reason is that under the premise that the game data is in the account, adding the child's father's email account is equivalent to adding an alias. Both parties can access the account. When changing to the child's father's email account, as shown in the first method, then the account Ownership will be with the child's father.Therefore, you can refer to the following web page to set up two-factor authentication for this account to ensure that the other party needs the verification code you provide each time they log in before they can log in (this method is more troublesome, but it is the only method):How to use two-step verification with your Microsoft account - Microsoft Support
