    Moved to another country

    Hello, I have a French XBox live account linked to my windows Live account, but since then I moved to the UK. I would like to create a new XBox live account and link it to my existing Windows Live account. How can I do that? I have tried to close my existing
    Xbox live account but I have not found anything on how to do it. S.

    There is no way to merge accounts. You would need to join live with your offline account and sign into it on the One in order to use it.

    Can I Connect My Offline Profile To My Windows Live Profile?

    I have this same issue. I have:

    a) an Xbox which has never been online and ...

    b) a pre-existing MS account (which has never been associated with an Xbox account).

    (I know they're all merged now, but I'm using the names 'Xbox' vs. 'MS' for clarity). Am I to understand the steps to merge them are as follows:

    1. On my acutal XBox device, I make the offline Xbox account into Online Xbox Live account (using the gamertag I want)

    2. Somewhere (don't know where), I change the MS account associated with my newly-created gamertag/Xbox account to my pre-existing MS account.

    Does this sound right? Where is step 2 done? On my Xbox or on my desktop? I read the following link, but it's not exactly the situation described here:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account
    .

    Of course, it would be ideal if an offline account could just be directly linked to a pre-exisiting MS account.

    join existing local profile to existing live account?

    Hi there,

    -

    No, you can't merge a local profile with an already existing Xbox Live account, it is only possible to 'upgrade' that local profile to a new Xbox Live account. If you want to do that see the steps on this link:

    support.xbox.com/.../offline-profile-to-gamertag

    Xbox Live account switch

    Hi, I don't believe the is a way to link an offline account to an existing Xbox live account. You may be able to convert the offline profile to an online one but you would need to create a new account at that time.
