Let me rephrase my question, the email linked to my xbox live account has been deleted, my new email is the one i want linked to my account, when i sign in to xbox live i see my non existing email address in the top right corner, all i want to do is change
the Email that is linked to my account. Is there any way i can do this without creating a new account???

Many thanks for your detailed explanation!

I'm confused about this part.
"Note The email address that you enter can't already be in use as a Microsoft account alias."

That means I can't for example create a new outlook email address and attach it as the primary alias for my current Xbox Live gamertag? And if that's not possible for example and instead I attach a non Microsoft email address, what if I then delete my Microsoft
Account? It says that if I request deletion I have to wait 60 days.

If after 60 days my Microsoft Account and live.co.uk email gets deleted will I be able to login to my Xbox Live account using the new email address that is changed for it as the primary alias? This part I am confused and need some clarity before I decide to
proceed.

Because if the old existing Microsoft Account is still somehow linked with my Xbox Live Game profile and I then delete it and this erases the Xbox Live Gamertag+profile this will be a disaster.

Here's how to change your email address

You can not change email address if it is linked to a Microsoft email account, @hotmail, @live, @outlook as doing so will delete the email account and all other Microsoft services linked to it.

I tried that and it says

This email address is already taken. Please try another.

when my parents added me to their office 365 they used my main email address (gmail)

Is there a way to delete the outlook one linked to my xbox altogether and only have my gmail email on the xbox?
