    Help Microsoft account


    Hello,

    I recently bought a new pc and I loged in a microsoft account I used with th pc I had before.

    I wanted to log in the xbox app, but the app forced me to use the account linked to my pc, even if I had a xbox live account before that.

    to put it simply:

    Account A (gaming account used for my Xbox360)

    Account B (used for my PC)

    I can't log on the xbox app with account A since it's account B that is linked to the PC, this mean I lost all the progress of my account.

    Can someone help me with this ?

    :)

    Hi there.

    you should be able to use the sign out option in the Settings-General in Xbox App and use the Sign out option.

    After that you can select Sign in again and it will start with the PC account, but before confirming that account in the top left corner it shows ' Not you' after clicking that you should be able to specify your other Microsoft Account with the correct Xbox
    Live Account.

    Hiya!

    Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist, in regards to your question about the files being removed by removing the account associated with it. All of the games that were downloaded under that profile will still be installed all that will be removed
    is the information needed to log into that account. I hope this information answers your question.

    Happy Gaming!

    Paul Xbox Forums Team!
