    How do I change the email used for my Xbox account without deleting the Microsoft account,...


    Someone made the Xbox account I use and to make things easier I would like to remove the email this person used for me on my Xbox account with a new one, I don't want to delete the email I just want to keep the email and remove it from the Xbox account itself, it is a Microsoft email I'm pretty sure and I've heard that removing Microsoft emails from Xbox accounts deletes the email which I do not want at all. All I want to to put a new Microsoft email onto my Xbox account and remove the old one but keep the old one operational just without the Xbox association emails and such. I've thought about making a new Xbox account incase nothing works but I need to know if I'm able to transfer everything from my old account to the new account such as game accounts that are linked to the old Xbox account points and stats. If someone could help me with this I would appreciate this very much as I can't find a solution anywhere.

    :)

    email switch without losing original email.

    I use my email all the time. My email is attached to my sons xbox game pass.

    How do I replace it without losing my email address with his or affecting how I sing into my email.
    Is the existing email a Microsoft email? If it is then you can't remove it without your email being deleted forever.

    Warning When removing an email alias that’s connected to a Microsoft domain (such as @Outlook.com, @Live.com, or @Hotmail.com), that email is completely deleted from our systems and can’t be used to send or receive emails. It won’t be available for use again as an alias on another account. Microsoft doesn’t recycle email addresses, so it can’t be reclaimed at a future time.

    conta xbox [Translation - xbox account]

    Hello Joao!

    Thank you for posting on Xbox Forums! Just to clarify, you are wondering how to delete your Xbox account without deleting your Outlook email? If so, then that wouldn't be possible, the reason being is that your Outlook email/Microsoft Account are one
    and the same with your Xbox Account. If you delete your Xbox account, you will be deleting you Microsoft account. However, what you can do is try to disassociate your email from this Xbox/Microsoft account by adding an alternate email to your account then
    removing your email from this account. Check out these links for
    deleting personal info from your Microsoft account

    How do I put the Xbox account only in a different email address ?

    My ex partner has his Xbox account under my Microsoft email account. How do I go about changing the email for his Xbox account but keeping my Microsoft account at the same time?
    You cant. Not without losing your email account forever.

    In order to completely separate the two youd have to remove your email as a primary alias but doing so would cause it to be forever deleted.

    can i unlink/disconnect an xbox account from a microsoft account an if so how?

    i got an xbox off of my older brother and have always used his account, he now has bought an xbox and we dont want to share an account the account is connected to his microsoft email which is his main email, i have used the account more and would prefer to keep the account with ,y save data and name. is there a way to unlink the xbox account and microsoft account so he can keep his email and make a new account for his new xbox? ive tried waht i thought was changing the email on the xbox account but it turned out i changed the email on the microsoft account.
    The Xbox account IS the Microsoft account and vice versa.

    There isnt a way to unlink the xbox and Microsoft account without it causing his Microsoft email to be permanently deleted since they are all one in the same.

    Removing your brothers Microsoft email from the account would cause it to be deleted forever and since Microsoft doesnt recycle emails for deleted accounts he would not be able to use it to create a new Microsoft account.

    Basically there is no way to do what you want to do without negatively affecting your brothers Microsoft email.
