    Changed Primary Alias associated with Microsoft Account and cannot play Minecraft: Java...


    Recently, I added a different email address to my Microsoft account, made it my primary alias, and removed my old email address I was previously using from the account. However, the old email address was used to purchase Minecraft: Java Edition for PC. Now, when I open the Minecraft launcher, it only shows the demo version available to me. How do I transfer ownership to the new email address and open the full version of Minecraft: Java Edition?

    :)

    Changed my primary alias and deleted my old alias and lost access to my minecraft account

    So i created a microsoft account and redeemed a gift card code for minecraft java edition. Everything normal and i can play the game.

    Recently I have changed my primary alias of my microsoft account, which is the primary email, and then i deleted my old alias. Doing this made me lose access to minecraft account. Before I could play it no problem but now it says "Play Demo" in the launcher, meaning i dont have access to it.

    I hope I can recover the minecraft account with a transaction ID or revert back to the old email alias.

    Can I move my Minecraft Java account to a different Microsoft account?

    Hi, Tyme my name is Oskayra, and will be a pleasure help you

    No, you cannot directly transfer your Minecraft Java account to a different Microsoft account. Each Minecraft Java account is associated with a specific Microsoft account, and it's not possible to change this association directly. The only way to play Minecraft Java with a different Microsoft account would be to create a new Minecraft Java account and purchase the game again.

    Knowing everything I told you, I'm sorry that you can't change your minecraft account to a different microsoft account, I hope you have a happy day. Oskayra

    Changed Primary Alias associated with Microsoft Account and cannot play Minecraft: Java Edition for PC

    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, it is not possible to transfer game licenses between accounts, if you are unable to retrieve the original purchase email, I fear you will lose access to the game permanently, which you would need to purchase again.

    It is usually recommended that you do not remove the original email when adding an alias as that is what happens, these instructions are available from the link below.

    My account was hacked by a russian mail

    If the system generates a new account for you with the same email address, it is possible that the hacker has changed the primary alias of the account, i.e. the primary email associated with the account, so that email domain was freed up for another Microsoft account.

    Migrar o perfil xbox da conta Microsoft -[Translation - Migrate the Microsoft account xbox profile]

    Hello AlanMacielBR,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in learning how you can move an Xbox profile from one Microsoft account to another. At the moment, this feature is not available for Microsoft account. The only option is
    to change the primary email address(primary alias) of the Microsoft account that has your Xbox profile. The account owner must

    change the primary alias
    of the account that has your Xbox profile to the intended email address. The account owner can then use the previous email address by adding it as a primary alias to a different Microsoft account. However, If you remove an alias
    that's an email address from a Microsoft domain (like @hotmail.com, @live.com, @outlook.com, or @msn.com), you're permanently deleting the alias and it can't be associated with any Microsoft account again. We hope this information helps AlanMacielBR!
