How to change my primary alias from an xboxlivefamily.com account

Hey there, Evincco

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Are you meaning the Microsoft Family Safety page, here: Microsoft Family Safety, or something else?

If you are meaning the Microsoft Family Safety page, this uses the sign in information attached to the Microsoft account. So, if you add a new alias, you should be able to sign into the account with the new alias.

You can try adding the new alias but keeping your primary one attached. Then try and sign into the site linked above with the new alias and see if it allows you to sign in. If it does, then make the new alias primary and try again to see if it continues allowing you to sign in.

Hope this helps,

Nathan

It is not the Microsoft Family Safety page. My account was made way back in 2012 when Xbox had a program called Xbox Live Family, and it was a way that parents could make accounts for their kids. That program was closed many years ago, so I am unable to access the emails that are sent to my primary microsoft alias since it ends in xboxlivefamily.com. I am able to add other aliases to my account, however I am unable to change my primary alias as it says "Your organization's policies prevent you from changing your primary alias.". I just want to get into contact with someone from Microsoft so that they can fix this for me.

Hey there, Evincco

With this, I would recommend contacting Xbox Support about this. They may be able to help with this. To contact them, please follow this link: Contact us | Xbox Support

Please let me know if they were helpful or not?

Hi there ASwiftDevil,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with changing the primary alias to an existing Microsoft Account. When changing a primary aliases on an account, you may not use any Microsoft Domains such as: xboxlivefamily.com,
Hotmail.com, live.com, outlook.com, and msn.com.

For more detailed information about how to add an alias, including why and how to set your primary alias, see the
Manage aliases on your
Microsoft accountarticle.

Hope this helps.

Yes you can change the original email address. This process is called changing the primary alias. The primary alias is the email address that is used to sign in to the account. The article explains how to complete this process.
