    I'm trying to change the windows live id associated with this account with a new one that I have just created and it's not letting me. I keep getting the error message "Sorry, we can't change your Microsoft account right now. For more info, go to Xbox.com/AccountSwap."

    Yes, it is. Once you get to the Summary page, enter
    account.live.com/ChangeID.aspx     into your browser's Address Bar or click on
    Update Email Address    .

    > I would like to change it and I see an option on contact preference to change it and if I do:



    > Will I be able to log in with my new email adress?
    YES



    > Am I going to loose anything? NO



    However, that is the Billing Contact address, not the name of your Microsoft Account. there are three email addresses in the Xbox system for every account.





    1) The Microsoft Account, also known as the Windows Live ID, which is used to sign in at websites and download the profile to the Xbox. You can change that at
    Sign in to your Microsoft account





    2) The alternate email address which is where password reset messages are sent. You can see that at
    Sign in to your Microsoft account and change that by selecting Edit Security Info





    3) The billing contact email address where billing statements are sent to. You can see and change that at
    http://xbox.com/accounts by choosing Billing Contact Information



    2 & 3 can be the same. Ideally, 1 should not be 2 or 3 but they often are.

    You remove my very old signature, and you do not reply to my question? Seems logical.

    I guess you're talking about security proofs, right? Are you trying to add you're existing gamertag as a proof? In that case you would get that message. You have to add a different e-mail address, in case you ever have to prove your identity. More onfo on
    the subject can be found here:

    Hello ChaoticPrice! I do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. Here is a link to an Xbox Support page on how to change your Microsoft Account (E-Mail)

    I hope this helps!

    Maybe.

    However, you need to have the password for the old Microsoft Account (i.e.,, the email addresse) before you can change it on the console.

    email change

    yeah man,

    Just create another microsoft account-you can go to account.live.com to do this.

    After that get on the xbox-sign in with your profile-on the dashboard go to the right to settings-choose profile-choose account security-choose change microsoft account.

    In order to do this it will ask you for the current email address and password and then the email address and password of the new microsoft account.

    after that you should be good to go.
