    Any help to get my adult sons Xbox data transferred to his own Microsoft account instead of still using mine after 15 or more years. Thanks in advance for instructions on how to do this.

    Hi there! My son has used my email address for his Xbox since he was a child. He is now 26. Is there a way to transfer only the Xbox data to his own Microsoft account?

    Nothing can be transferred between accounts.

    Change to a child account

    I have the same question. I want my son to login to Xbox with his email so I can put limits on how long he plays. He currently uses my hotmail account to login. He doesn't want to lose his Fortnite progress, so he continues to login with my email.

    His email is set up as a child account under my account. When he logs in, he doesn't have access to xbox live either. I would think it would carry over since it's all under the same parent account.

    Is it possible to transfer everything to a child's email account?

    Thanks!

    Delete Xbox profile from Microsoft account?

    This is a horrible flaw. So i had a child, he became old enough to start playing game on my xbox, but not old enough to have an email address. As he got older he created a profile on my xbox for his own experience. Now he is old enough and has his own xbox X and is moving out. You are telling me that he must delete the account with 6 plus years of games on it because he can't move his profile to his email instead of mine. That is a huge flaw.

    No active gamer profile

    i have found the email address... it was a 2nd email address of mine that i never use.

    So if my son has his own account, and its attached to his (my other) own email... why does the game keep saying his account has "no active gamer profile"

    surely the fact he has an account and can play all his other games kinda proves his account is very much active.

    or it this because its an xbox 360 game and he didnt have an account back then... because he wasnt born lol

    Hi Ricardo.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The xbox does have 2 accounts on it, mine and my sons. (Mine is simply on there so he has access to game pass etc)

    But the moment the xbox is turned on, it logs my sons account in automatically. Is this what you mean?? Or do i have to do something else aswell?

    also, my sons account is under a child account so he doesnt have an email address added to it. Will this be causing a problem? if so, can i somehow add an email adress to it??

    Thanks
