    How do I switch my main email when logging in?


    I logged on with an old email by accident, logged out and on to my current one and then purchased the one month pass. I was able to download one game but after that it acts as if I'm on my other account and wants me to repurchased the trial. I can sign
    out and back in but it still wants me to purchase it and it has my old account as my info even though the icon is from the newer one. I've already started the closure process on the old account.

    Would appreciate any help, thanks guys!

    :)

    How to switch main emails

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good morning

    changing the email will not change, the access email is just a name and password, the restriction is in the profile, you must change the privacy settings, and remove your family account where your parents configure the settings for your account if there is.

    To change the privacy settings your account must be an adult account, otherwise you will not have access.

    see it in your privacy settings:

    if your account is for a child, you need an adult account to link your account and manage your privacy settings

    see how a family account works.
