Change xBox Email Account From Outlook To Outlook

dubstir · Jun 30, 2018

I am the head of our family account (@live) and years back I created a single account (@outlook with restrictions) for both my children to share for xBox purposes. Now that they are older and play different games and want different screen names, I want to
change that single shared @outlook account to another @outlook which my oldest already uses for other Microsoft services. He wants the same screen name and all of his stats to carry over to the changed @outlook address.

Through searching, I am only finding ways to add an alias to the current account. An alias will not work in this situation because the @outlook is ALREADY in use, so it cannot be added as an alias.

I know changing an MS account has always been a debate in this regard, but is there anything at all that can be done?

Again:

1 shared @outlook account will become 2 child accounts. The current shared @outlook account will be changed to another @outlook account and I will create a NEW @outlook account for my youngest.

Changing email associated with gamertag

I want to change my Xbox Live account email address. My current address is a Hotmail account, my new address is an Outlook account. If I try to add my Outlook account as an Alias it won't allow me to. It will only allow non Microsoft accounts to be added
as an Alias.

It used to be much simpler to change your email address before. How do I change the Hotmail account associated with my Gamertag to an Outlook account?

Thanks.

outlook update

I believe so. Once you convert your account , you will need to log in with your new address.

Unfortunately there is not anyway to do this once content is purchased on an account it is permanently attached to that account.

If you are wanting to change the email address associated with the account you can but it can not be an email that is already attached to another MS account. Here is a support link on how to change the email address associated with a MS account.

Keep in mind since you said that your current email is an outlook account if you do add another alias to your account and then remove the outlook account that outlook email will be GONE FOREVER and not be able to get it back so if you still want to use that
outlook email DO NOT remove it from your account. You can still add another email to the account as an alias and use it to sign in with and keep the outlook email on there at the same time but IF you REMOVE the outlook email from the account again it will
be GONE FOREVER.

One email (the xbox account) is an icloud and the other (my laptop) is an outlook email. I tried changing alliases but it said that email was already in use (the outlook email), so I'm not sure if it's a "can't do anything about it" thing or not.

I see. It's not possible to add the outlook email to your account with the iCloud email because outlook is a Microsoft email - it cannot be added or transferred to another Microsoft account. Even if you could transfer the outlook email to your account from the console, your Minecraft account is still linked to your other account since we cannot merge accounts. You will always have those two accounts. It's just a matter of changing email addresses or aliases but not their data.

you can't change the xbox account to an existing outlook account, you would need to create a new account during the alias creation. your outlook account is already a microsoft account and therefore already has an xbox account etc.

you cant transfer accounts from one email to another.

Hi Jonathon,

Thanks for letting us know. If you do change your email from their outlook email. We recommend to NOT REMOVE outlook email. If you remove it from the account totally, this deletes the email. So if they use it for anything else like work
they will not be able to any longer. Leave it on the account as a secondary email.

Thanks,

Brad
