    "Sorry, we can't change your Microsoft account right now. For more info, go to Xbox.com/AccountSwap."

    For the Alias, would I just put anything? Since the alias isn't an actual email I wouldn't need to create a password for it. So then I would just make an Alias for Account 1 and make the Alias my primary and delete the email off of that account, then use
    that email as an Alias for Account 2 so then I would have the email associated with the gamer tag that I want. Right?

    Console won't let me log in: 'This Email Address Or Password Is Invalid.

    Patrat: I haven't got an alias, and yes the email is the same on that screen as that which appeared on my mate's console.

    NO ALIAS?????

    None at all?

    That would be a problem.... You need to have an alias to sign in. Normaly your alias is your email. If you have 2 aliases you run in to problems some times. If you have none you will also run in to problems.

    .

    Add your email address to the aliases and try again.

    Cannot change the email address associated with my Xbox Live Account

    t should let you add an alias if your email was already verified, if not, it will ask you to verify the email address that's currently listed first.

    Once you add your alias, if its a 3rd party email (gmail, yahoo, etc) then click verify.

    When I add the alias email I want to, it says that the alias email is already in use. My alias email is gmail and is already a live account (I use it for my Windows Phone and for OneDrive). I'm stucked, once again :(

    adding a outlook.com alias

    You're thinking of alias as a way to link your different Microsoft accounts together...it's not that. Creating a new alias means you're signing up for a new (not taken) email address, but the email to/from this new address will use existing inbox.

    If you want to add your 2nd Microsoft account's email address as alias to this one, first you'll have to remove that email address from that account (i.e. sign up for an alias on that account, make the new alias primary, delete the email address you want
    to move, wait for 30 days for that email address to be available to the world, then add it to your current Microsoft account as new alias).

    Can I transfer my gamertag to a different Microsoft account?

    Yes, you just must add your new email address as the alias email, first. Once it’s your alias, then you may delete your parent’s email.

    Gamertag issue

    If you are trying the alias solution then this can be done in the settings of outlook.com.

    Just find the alias settings, create new email, make it primary. The old email would then become an alias that you can delete if you want
