    Changing Primary Account Alias


    So I wanted to change my primary email to my Xbox Live account, since Xbox chose my email. I guess that Xbox changes their policies and I am stuck with my email that Xbox provided me with. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to change the primary
    alias for the Xbox account.

    :)

    Old xboxlivefamily.com email

    It says "Your organization's policies prevent you from changing your primary alias.

    Moving Xbox Live Gamertag and Profile Between Aliases on Xbox 360

    Hello, I wonder whether it's possible to move XBOX Live gamertag and profile from an alias to another one linked to the same Microsoft account.

    I'm using a Hotmail.com alias, which is my primary one, to sign-in to Microsoft services. I also have an Outlook.com as another alias associated to the same Microsoft account. I'd like to make the latter as my primary alias and move the XBOX Live gamertag
    and profile to it.

    Do you think it's possible? Am I going to lose anything in the move?

    And if possible, should I move them before changing the Outlook.com alias to primary or after the change?

    Transfer Progress Or SImilar

    Yes you can change the original email address. This process is called changing the primary alias. The primary alias is the email address that is used to sign in to the account. The article explains how to complete this process.

    Hello ChloéThery,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in

    changing your primary alias    . If you are receiving that error message, it means the email address you want to use is already the primary alias of a Microsoft account. You must first log in to that account. If you need help

    resetting the password    , you can use our support article. Once you have logged in to that account, you can change the primary alias for it. After you have set up a new primary alias on that account, you can remove the email that you want from it. At that
    point, you can go ahead and use that email address as the primary alias of your main account. Be sure to let us know the results!

    Change gamertag email on Xbox One

    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.

    Can I move existing Xbox account to another Microsoft account not losing all the progresses in games?

    That's correct. The changing of account's primary email address or alias is the use of email to sign in to the account.
