How do you switch Xbox live accounts?

These are the steps for switching email address:

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

However, you will need access to the first account in order to do this. If not, then absolutely anyone could change the email address on your account, so it's a security thing.

So, there are a couple things you could try:

- Ask your mother to reset her email password (if she set up recovery options;

support.xbox.com/.../forgot-microsoft-account-solution) and then change the email address using the link above; or

- Contact Phone Support (support.xbox.com/contact-us) and if you can verify that you are the account owner then they should be able to help you out.

Okay so looks like you want to switch Windows LIVE IDs. You're going to have to create a whole new Windows LIVE ID to associate with this account you are posting with to free up that email. Then switch the Windows LIVE ID on the other account. Here is a
guide on how to swich Windows LIVE IDs on an account.

Hi there,

-

The steps you will need to do are the following:

1. Download the profile currently connected to your windows outlook email to your xbox live console

2. Wait 30 days. A profile has to be on a console for at least 30 days without downloading it before it can be moved to a different Microsoft Account.

3. Move the xbox live account on your outlook email (Microsoft Account) to a new (Temporary) Microsoft account. This will remove the xbox live account that is currently on the outlook email account

(Be sure not to use the PC with windows 8 or windows Phone, this will auto generate a new xbox live account when it is missing)

4. Move your xbox live account to the outlook email address. After that your xbox live account should be connected to the Outlook email address (Microsoft account)
