changing alias to new one and deleting old one

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

According to Xbox support: "Concerned about your licences? Don’t worry—if you change your account alias, or remove an alias and then add a new one, all licences linked to your Microsoft account will remain with your account."

Here's what will happen, make sure to set the new Microsoft email address as a "primary alias" and also make sure that it's verified.

Here's an additional reminder:

"When removing an email alias that’s connected to a Microsoft domain (such as @Outlook.com, @Live.com, or @Hotmail.com), that email is completely deleted from our systems and can’t be used to send or receive emails. It won’t be available for use again as an alias on another account. Microsoft doesn’t recycle email addresses, so it can’t be reclaimed at a future time."

Hey there JacybPorter,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forums, when you update the primary email address (alias) to a Microsoft account you are simply replacing the old one. Unfortunately there is no way to actually move the Xbox profile to a new Microsoft account.

Just be aware that replacing the alias will delete the old one and replace it with the new one, in other words if replaced it will delete your dads alias and replace it with the new one.

I hope this helps.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it possible to change it
here.

I believe you have to:

1. Log in.
2. Add a new alias (email).
3. Delete the old email alias or change the new alias to the primary one.
   

I have been told this works but have never tried it myself as I have never needed to.

I changed the email on my gamer tag by signing in to microsoft live account, creating a new alias and assigning it as the primary account, then deleting the old alias.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Jordan, when you say you changed your account email, are you referring to your account Alias, did you add a new Alias and delete the old (original) one?
