    Changing/switching Microsoft account for xbox live


    Hello,

    Currently, I'm trying to change my account email from my mother's Microsoft account to my own. My cousin used my personal one when we were younger but I have a new email that hasn't been used on Xbox yet. is there a way to switch accounts and not affect my mother's Microsoft account while keeping my data, account info and saves?

    :)

    Microsoft Live ID: Rename Account

    The ISP's email address is still a micrososft account it just does not have a mail service.

    Once you have the current Microsoft account and password for your xbox live account

    AND

    a new Microsoft account to switch to.

    you can go to

    Settings/Account/Account Security/Change Microsoft account on the console and folloe the steps for changing the Micrososft account associated with your xbox live account.

    new xbox live account will not log in

    Why do I get a “The Microsoft account (or Windows Live ID) you’re switching to is already linked to another Xbox account” error message?

    If you try to switch your Xbox LIVE gamertag to a Microsoft account that is already linked to another gamertag, you will receive a message that says “The Microsoft account (or Windows Live ID) you’re switching to is already linked to another Xbox account”.

    Before you can switch your gamertag in this case, you must first remove the existing gamertag from that Microsoft account:

    1.Create a new Microsoft account. You will only need this new account as a temporary means of moving your gamertags. After the gamertags have been switched, you will no longer need this Microsoft account.

    Example:

    Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.

    Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

    To swap gamertags A and B between Microsoft accounts 1 and 2, first create a third temporary account: Microsoft account 3

    2.Switch the gamertag that is linked to the Microsoft account you want to use to the new temporary account you have just created.

    Example:

    Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 1.

    Switch gamertag B to Microsoft account 3.

    Microsoft account 2 is now free.

    3.Now switch your gamertag to the Microsoft account you want to use.

    Example:

    Switch gamertag A to Microsoft account 2.

    Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 3.

    Microsoft account 1 is now free.

    4.To complete the swap of gamertags between the two original Microsoft accounts, you must wait 30 days. (A gamertag can be switched only once every 30 days.)

    Example:

    Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 2.

    After 30 days, switch gamertag B to Microsoft account 1.

    Microsoft account 3 is now free and no longer needed.

    Can I switch my gamertag to a different Microsoft account?

    You can change the Microsoft account that is associated with your Xbox LIVE gamertag. Here’s how:

    1.Sign in using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.

    2.Go to Settings and select Account.

    picture

    3.Scroll right to Your Information and select Account Security.

    4.Select Change Windows Live ID. (Your Windows Live ID is your Microsoft account. Find out more.)

    Do one of the following:

    ◦If you have another Microsoft account, select Yes.

    ◦If you do not have another Microsoft account, go to accounts.live.com and click Sign up. After you have another Microsoft account set up, select Yes and continue with the next step.

    ◾Enter the password for the Microsoft account that is currently associated with your gamertag, and then select Sign in.

    ◾Enter the email address and the password for the new Microsoft account that you want to associate with your gamertag, and then select Sign in.

    ◾Select Yes, change to change the Microsoft account associated with your Xbox LIVE account.

    ◾Select Update Contact Information to update your contact information or Done to finish.

    Notes

    •When you change your Microsoft account, your Microsoft Points are automatically transferred to the new Microsoft account.

    •You can make only one Microsoft account change for a given gamertag every 30 days.

    •You must also wait 30 days after your gamertag is downloaded from Xbox LIVE before you can switch that gamertag to a different Microsoft account. If 30 days have not passed since the gamertag was downloaded, you’ll get an error message.

    •Before you can change the Microsoft account associated with a child account, you must provide the Microsoft account information for the adult account that has parental control.

    •You can choose to require input of your Microsoft account password to sign in to Xbox LIVE. For more information on how to do this, see Password-protect your Xbox LIVE profile.

    Why do I get a ”Sorry, we can’t change your Microsoft account right now” error when I try to make a change to my Microsoft account?

    You can make only one Microsoft account change for a given Xbox LIVE gamertag every 30 days. If 30 days haven’t passed since the last time the Microsoft account was changed, you’ll receive the error message “Sorry, we can’t change your Microsoft account
    right now”.

    Note You must also wait 30 days after your gamertag is downloaded from Xbox LIVE before you can switch that gamertag to a different Microsoft account.
