    Games install to wrong profile


    Hi, my friend set up his profile on my Xbox I purchased several games to download. Now that u finally set up my profile, I can't play the games I purchased and they are under his profile as if its his Xbox. How do I install the games under my profile only?

    :)

    Is discless play without a 24 check still possible?

    First one that comes to mind is to make all the discs have a unique code and you need the initial connection to install the game which can be done anywhere and once done the game is tied to your console / profile.

    This stops you letting mates install the game as when you initially installed the game on your machine the disc code was tied into your profile / machine and as such any attempts at installing will come up with something to the effect of "This serial number is already in use"

    Also, if you wish to sell the game / lend it to a mate you have to uninstall and upon uninstall it removes the tied code to your machine / profile.

    This would also solve the discless play they wanted to do even with disc based games and stop people installing then giving to mates to install as the initial connection needed would tell them if the game is linked to another profile / console.

    If you purchased them while signed into his account, then they would be tied to his account. Nothing can be transferred between accounts. In order for you to access the game's, he would need to set your console as his Home console.

    Bought a game in a wrong profile

    Unfortunately, you cannot transfer a license between profiles. Typically, there are no refunds for digital purchases, but you can try to contact official support via
    support.xbox.com/contact-us and see if they will cancel the purchase.
