Changing the primary email on my Xbox account

Hi there,

you can't merge accounts itself or fully move the Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft Account, but something that could work for you is changing the primary email address for the Microsoft Account.

My assumption what steps might be required are:

- Change the primary email on the New Unused Xbox Account account to something else (you might need a new MS account/email for that) so that the Wanted email address is no longer attached to a Microsoft Account.

- Change the primary email on the Old Xbox account to the new wanted email address, so that that Wanted email address can be used to sign in to the Xbox main account.

See this link for the full information on how to change the primary email address on a Microsoft Account

Let us know the results

That wasn't what I meant, what I meant is how long do I need to wait to use my primary e-mail on my primary xbox live account since I've already changed my primary email with some secondary email. Do I again need to wait for a month until I can use my primary
email to replace the email on my primary xbox live account ?

Hi Francia,

Thank you for your quick reply - i thought as much, again, thank you so much for your help and enjoy the rest of your day

Hi Deshaun, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

I apologize but changing the primary alias of a Microsoft account requires access to the account itself.

The option that you have if you don't have access is attempting to recover it. Here you go: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...
