Do I have to deactivate my Minecraft account with Microsoft in order to open it on a new...

Hello!

Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

I understand your concern, there is no need to deactivate your Minecraft account to use it on a new device. Your Minecraft account is linked to your Microsoft account, so you can log in on any computer with your credentials and continue using the game.

Best regards!

Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

Unfortunately deactivating an account will not free up the Minecraft profile name to be used on a different account. Old Minecraft accounts do not have a deactivation feature. To deactivate an old Minecraft account, you must first migrate it to a Mojang account. Still, this does not allow you to reuse the user name.

I hope this helps resolve your issue.

Hello Rodrigo,

Thank you for your reply,

But I can remember this is the account I bought Minecraft on. When I opened Microsoft website and when I tried to log in it said "That Microsoft account doesn't exist" so I created new Microsoft account on the same Gmail account and it created a new one on the same Gmail account that had Minecraft in it. I still have the order ID and the Gmail account but my might have been over written. I am talking through the recently created Microsoft account that I mentioned here.

I have a receipt for Mojang Studios' order for Minecraft Java. Do I have to log on to a Mojang account or does my Microsoft Account suffice?

Hello!

A few years ago, my brother and I bought Minecraft together using my email, and he has since earned a lot of achievements in the game. We are now hoping to each get our own accounts, but since he has a significantly higher number of hours and achievements in the game, we'd both prefer if he kept this Minecraft account. However, I'm finding that it looks like in order to do this, I'd have to switch my email within Microsoft to his email. But he already has a Microsoft account, and I don't want to lose mine. I need to basically find a way to migrate our Minecraft account to his existing Microsoft account so that I can buy a new Minecraft account to connect to my Microsoft account. Is there a way to do this? If so, how?

Unfortunately there isnt a way to do this. The minecraft account is the Microsoft account and vice versa.
