    How to transfer data between accounts?


    I've read through a lot of the info here.. but I am still really confused. Especially as to whether I'm changing xbox live or my email account information.

    Basically, this is what happened:

    On my boyfriend's 360 I signed up for xbox live, not knowing I was signed in on his profile. It is now associated with my email and gamertag, and it makes him furious that all his previous game data is now associated with my information.

    How do I fix this, I am in the "dog house" as it were..

    :)

    How to transfer data between accounts?

    It sounds like you simply bought a subscription on someone else's account. That doesn't affect any Xbox content associated with the account at all. If your boyfriend is concerned about his purchase history he can log into his account at billing.microsoft.com
    to verify it is unchanged. If he is concerned about the associated login/contact information, he needs to go to account.live.com and make sure all of the information listed is correct to his person.

    As per your original question, content cannot be transferred between accounts. This includes scenarios where someone signs up for Xbox Live (using their payment info) on someone else's account. The content remains with the original account owner and nothing
    is changed aside from the fact that you just bought them a free month.

    Thank you for replying. He did not have an xbox live account prior to my signing up. Then I signed up for xbox gold. All he wants is his game information. I am assuming if I were to give it back to him, I have to pay to have the gamertag changed and change
    the email, which I am having a hard time understanding if it is possible.

    Oh okay! So it was just a local account which was then turned into a Live account by setting up Xbox Live? That makes a bit more sense now. Yes, the information on the account can be changed at
    https://account.live.com. You'll be able to manage the login email (Aliases), contact information (Security proofs), and general user information from that link. As for changing the Gamertag, yes this does
    cost money. You can do this from the Xbox console itself, this link should help:
