Changing linked Xbox account email or transferring data to another account?

When you change the email associated with your Microsoft account, it will not delete the original email or any of its other corresponding data. Changing the email simply means that the email address linked to your Microsoft account will be updated to the new one you provide. The original email account will remain independent and unaffected by this change. It will no longer be associated with your Xbox account, but it will still exist as a separate email account with its own data and functionality. It is a pleasure for me to help, I hope this helps.

The only way for the email to be completely no longer associated with OPs account would be to delete it as an alias however keep in mind per https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...nt/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

Warning 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.

Hello Krdnckb01, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Yes, it is possible to change the email associated with an Xbox account. Here's how you can do it:

Sign in to the Xbox account: Use the current email and password associated with the Xbox account to sign in.

Go to account settings: Navigate to the account settings on the Xbox console or the Xbox website.

Update the email: Look for the option to update or change the email address associated with the account. Follow the on-screen instructions to provide the new email address and verify it.

Verify the email: You will receive a verification email at the new email address you provided. Follow the instructions in the email to verify the new email address.

Remove the old email (optional): Once the new email is verified, you can choose to remove the old email from the account if you wish. This step is optional but recommended for security purposes.

It's important to note that changing the email associated with an Xbox account will not remove any other account details, such as gamertags, achievements, or game progress. All the data associated with the account will remain intact.

Regarding transferring data from one account to another, it is not possible to directly transfer game progress or achievements from one Xbox account to another. Each Xbox account is unique and tied to specific game progress and achievements.

However, if your account is part of a "family" setup, it may be possible to create a new account under your email while still retaining access to the shared content and subscriptions. This way, you can start fresh with your own account while still having access to the existing library of games and other content.

Remember to communicate with your parents about any changes you wish to make to the account, as they are the primary account holders. They may need to provide permission or assistance in the process.

Best regards.

after connecting my email to my Microsoft account and deleting the old one, it hasn't been sending any codes to the new one when trying to sign into my epic account (using Xbox account), would i need to look somewhere else? or are there other options?

Hi David thank you very much! I appreciate your help. Just one more question, if I change the email will it delete the original account' email and its all of its other corresponding data associated with that Microsoft account or will it really just be changing the email to my own and nothing happens to the email that was removed from the account? So in other words willthat original email's Microsoft still be intact just no longer associated with an Xbox account?
