Hello

I had an Xbox 360 in 2012 and bought alot of content for it back then. How can I get access to the account now.

Thank You

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

Hope you're doing great today despite this David

Since 2012 you never logged in the account?
I ask this because usually after 5 years of inactivity the account is deleted automatically from the Microsoft servers.
So, probably the account is gone :c

But if you want to give it a try... you can proceed with the account recovery form:

Also, you could try alternative methods to recover the account here (if it still exists):

The Minecraft migration from Mojang is on a separate Microsoft account. How can I access my purchase?

Like the previous comments mentioned. Go to Microsoft's website, on the top right, hover over your profile and click on "My Microsoft Account". From there you can access your Family Settings and set screen time, block apps and sites, and all sorts of other
functions.

On my PC. I have played since 2012 without issues. Ever since the forced migration and having to connect to my Microsoft account, I can still login to the game with my usual details, but I can no longer access the Realms etc billing page, because it says I need to purchase the game.

Unfortunately only a Microsoft account can be linked to your Minecraft account. You need to try to recover that previous account.

You can send a request to the Microsoft team to recover that account through this link:

https://account.live.com/acsr

It is necessary to have some information from the previous account, otherwise the Microsoft team will not be able to help you with the account recovery request.

Please keep in mind that this is a public forum. I am an Xbox gamer like you and I am happy to help you with my knowledge. Unfortunately we cannot access some of your internal account information.
