Change the XBox live account to different Microsoft account

Hello,

I'm trying to add my Xbox live account / profile to a different Microsoft account because my old e-mail address isn't being used anymore.

Can anyone help me?

Hi there,

be aware that if there is still currency on the account, this may prevent you from moving the account to a different Microsoft Account.

If it's just the primairy email address you want to change you can also try the steps mentioned here:

support.xbox.com/.../change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

This won't move the xbox live account to a different Microsoft Account, but will only change the primairy email address used for the xbox live account (and Microsoft Account)

Hi there,

the only thing you can change is the email address used to sign into a Microsoft Account (Xbox Live Account), this will only change the email address used to sign into the account. (It doesn't transfer the full Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft
Account)

The steps to change the email address can be found here:
https://support.xbox.com/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

Changing gamertags, will only result in a different gamertag, it does not change the account or take any save game progress with it.

Is the change sign-ing email address option what you seek or do you want to achieve something else?

There is no way to delete an Xbox Live account, but you can move it to a different Microsoft account.
