Delinking my hotmail email account from an xbox account

There is what lies the problem - since the account is from the xbox 1 days and linked with a hotmail (back when all you could use was hotmail/msn/live) the email is in effect super locked.

This account is from then as well, I am also unable to delink my hotmail account.

But my error is always, Your Windows Live ID can't be changed at this time. (and I just tried)

I have used this link.

I recently changed my primary email from a hotmail to a gmail account. I deleted the hotmail account but now Xbox will not let me sign into my xbox account. Can someone please help?

Since outlook is already a Microsoft server email it is not possible to use the outlook email you can add another email alias that is not a Microsoft server email (@outlook.com, @live.com, @msn.com) or you can create a new outlook email in the process of
adding an alias to the account at account.live.com/addassocid and it will put that new outlook account on the hotmail account or you can use any non MS email account.

Now keep this in mind you can have multiple aliases that you use to sign into accounts with (if they are not already a Microsoft account)

If you do add a new alias to your hotmail account and decide to remove your hotmail email from the account that will render the hotmail account null and void and you will never be able to get it back.

so do not remove the hotmail email from the account if you ever think you will need it for anything in the future

Ok, so if i create an alias and i remove my hotmail email i will not be able to use the hotmail email, but will i lose all the data and achievements of the xbox account? (i hope not...)

I signed into the gamertag/xbox account earlier today, realised it was linked to an old hotmail address, and was trying to change the associated MS account's email from that hotmail address to my gmail address.

as you have a Hotmail account it is impossible to unlink it from the Xbox account.

if you remove a Microsoft email address from an Xbox account it will permanently delete the email account
