How do I sign up for xbox live silver I try to do multi-player games but it doesn't allow me

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Andrew, if you're referring to Xbox Live Gold so you can play online, you can get it through the link below.

If you are playing on PC you don't need Live Gold to play online, and on console free games like Fortnite don't need Live Gold either.

"...that's how the game knows where to save data..." What's wrong with saving game data ON MY COMPUTER HARD DRIVE like my original Xbox did for single player? LIVE doesn't need to save game data in a single player game - only if I CHOSE to play multi-player
should I be required to logon. "...All system and title updates, along with demos and the ability to make marketplace transactions, are available to Silver--nee free--level accounts..." So, I STILL have to have a 'Near Free' silver LIVE account in order
to play downloaded games? How about game disks - do I have to logon to this 'Near Free' silver LIVE account to play these disks? If this is true, I'm very disappointed in the method MS has set up their gaming system.

I have a Xbox One with a Gold Membership. I have two gamerTags. One for me and one for my son. We still use our Xbox 360 as well. Why is it that only my GamerTag can play multi-player games when someone utilizes the Xbox 360. I looked in the settings and
it is showing my sons as only Silver and mine as Gold.

Does he not get to do multi-player on the 360 as he is allowed to on the One?

Yes, and no. I am signing in to on the Xbox 360, but trying to get the silver version of Xbox live. It will let me do the sign in process up until I give it the email address. Then it tells me it is in use by another profile. (The Windows
10 version of Minecraft maybe?)

i have all of those things done you listed.. but i cant play two player. it asks me to sign into xbox live account. we have one, do we need two accounts to play multi player
