Closing one microsoft account, but porting that xbox account to a my new microsoft account

Since the account you use on the PC is already a Microsoft Account, you can't "merge" the two, or move the Xbox account over.

Alternatively you could continue to use your old account on the console, and add your new account to the console as well, setting that console as your new account's "Home Console".

That way the new account shares your memberships like Gamepass to the console, and every other account playing on that console.

If you don't have a lot game progress and purchases on the old account, you might consider adding your friends to the new account.

If necessary, you can then also rename your new account, thanks to the new Gamertag system. You'd then get a small number added to the Tag, similiar to how Battle.net and Discord handle Usernames.

Unfortunately there is no way to do what you are asking.

The only thing that can be done is changing the email address that is associated with an account.

Xbox profiles can not be transferred between MS accounts.

The only thing that I can think of and this maybe a little annoying is to add your OG xbox account as an account on your computer and when you want to play those games switch the account on your computer to the OG xbox account.

if you get Game Pass Ultimate on your new account then make your Xbox the Home Xbox for that account, any other account you sign in with on the Xbox will have access to all the benefits of the Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

so you'd use your old account on Xbox and your new account on PC

that lets you make use of the Game Pass for PC and keep your old Xbox progress and friends

Hi there,

the closest thing to deleting an account is moving it to another Microsoft Account and then close that Microsoft Account.

An option is to create a new Microsoft Account, move the xbox live account to that new Microsoft Account and close that Microsoft Account afterwards. This should make the xbox live account inaccessible

See this link for the how to move the account to another Microsoft Account:
support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

To close a Microsoft Account go to this link:
https://account.live.com/ and use the Close Account option at the bottom

I hope this will allow and help you to let your son go...

Hello FortuneCat,

Thank you for posting here on the forums. Unfortunately, there is no way to disassociate an Xbox profile from a Microsoft account. Once an Xbox profile is created and attached to a Microsoft account, it will remain attached. No way around this.

If removing your profile from the Microsoft account is mandatory then the most you can do is

close your account to start new, or create a new Microsoft account.

Hope this helps!
