    Complicated -

    We do not have an Xbox. We used my email for years to log in to Minecraft via Microsoft/Xbox on IOS tablets.



    I meant to update his Minecraft email to his own (he is old enough now) and then change/transfer his Gamertag so he can start logging in on his own and I can monitor usage under Microsoft Family.

    Well....

    I changed my sons gamertag on Microsft/Xbox account, however it is connected to my email. I meant to set him his new gamertag associating with his email on Microsoft family Safety! Now I made a big mess of things. HELP!

    :)

    Complicated - I changed my sons gamertag on Microsft/Xbox account, however it is connected to my email. I meant to set new gamer tag on his email! HELP

    It would be best to add his email as an alias to the account because if you change it completely and you delete yours he will lose all the data that's related to it. Concerning the gamertag, you can always change it again after adding the email. To add his personal email as an alias, you can follow the steps demonstrated here => How to add an email address or phone number to your Microsoft account. Keep in mind that you can even make it primary just make sure to keep the original email

    Account Help!

    ok thanks revtony (this is my main Xbox account)..... So If i can migrate the gamertag to the micorsoft account, would there be a way I can change the e-mail / microsoft account associated with this gamertag so that it is connected to my main Microsft account
    that is already synced with my Windows 8 PC, Because if I want to use any sync options or Smart Glass between windows 8 and Xbox, it would need the GamerTag to be associated with the Microsoft account.

    HELP! Gamertag no longer associated with any microsoft account!

    Was your sons account connected to LIVE before? When you make a new offline account and then join LIVE your original alias changes and you get a random gamertag, however after that you get the chance to change your gamertag to whatever you want as long
    as the gamertag you're trying to get is not taken.

    Sea of Thieves latest update won't download

    oh. And this Gamertag is the gamertag that Microsft automatically generated when I started the support chat, without my knowledge or consent, and I was told by support that if they try to delete it, it will also delete my 7 year old Xbox
    account and gamertag.

    Seriously??
