Created new email address for old account, mistakenly got a new account

Hi there.

Creating a fresh account would create a new email address for the new account so you would not lose the older account.

Keep in mind there is no way to transfer the old email to the new account though.

Hope that helps clarify the options!

No, you cannot transfer the Microsoft Account email address or any part of the account to another account.

You will have to forward all your emails to a new Microsoft account and transfer your OneDrive files to that one. You then can remove your email address from the old one and get your ex to add a brand new one (that has never been created before) this will
delete the old email address, the old email address will be unusable.

If you want your old email address on your new account try following the steps on this page:

support.xbox.com/.../change-xbox-live-account-info

However, If I'm reading your question correctly you will need a third email to act as the go between. So you should do something like this

1)Create new email address

2)Change email address of old account to newly created email

3)Change email address of new account to the email you want to use.

I wasn't too bothered about the old account. If I can create a new profile on the Xbox using the new WILD I will be happy. Is this possible?

You can do that or you can do use the old email address for the new gamertag but you will need to change the email address on the old gamertag, which will make the email address free to use on a new account.

Thanks for the response but we cant remember the old email address for the old xbox so hes created a new account.
