    Changing email linked to Xbox Live account problems


    What's up, I have been trying to change the email address associated with my Xbox Live account, however, when I enter the new email an error message says, "This account is already in use." The email that I am trying to change it to is MY account. It is
    an existing account that I have had for a couple of months and has now become my main email, which is why I am trying to change emails. There are NO Xbox Live profiles linked to the new email that I am trying to change it to. Nothing is linked to it. It's
    just a standard outlook email address, but the website will not allow me to switch to that address. I am the most confused I have ever been in my life and I would appreciate some help, thank you.

    :)

    One year anniversary of the one - thanks message from xbox

    I am sure whatever they give will be linked to the Xbox account message system.

    I had that problem with using an old email. I switched the email through windows live. It took like 30 days to do that though. At least I get the emails now.

    Hey there huge crack!

    It sounds like your Microsoft account is already tied to another Gamertag. To free up the Microsoft account you want to use, you'll need to first create a third MSA that is not associated with a Gamertag. You can do this over on
    outlook.com (be sure not to sign into Xbox.com with this account!). Once the MSA is created, you'll need to wait 30 days, after which you should be able to change the Gamertag that you don't use to this newly
    created MSA. Once you free up the MSA, you should be able to change the email associated with your main Gamertag.

    Let us know if you have any issues!

    Can't access child account because parental account has been deleted.

    I fixed the problem... finally. I managed to change the password of the email linked to the parental account. I deleted the xbox live account but not the email.

    Don't remember Parental controls

    I would recommend going to your windows live email that is linked with your Xbox live account and changing the password.
