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

My name is welcome to the community and Merry Christmas.

Hello Unbroken, when trying to add a new Alias if it is not an existing account, you will have to create a new Alias.

Try following the procedures below.

Add or remove an email alias in Outlook.com

the account connected to my old gamertag is a microsoft account, but it doesn't have @outlook or @hotmail) and the new email account that I want to be connected to my old gamertag is also a microsoft account but @gmail, not @outlook or @hotmail

Thanks but my contact preferences are already set to my hotmail account, the problem is that I still get some notifications sent to my old gmail account.

I no longer want my gmail account associated with my xbox live account and I can't see how to remove it.

Do you know if there is a way to merge the accounts then? My old email address, that is also a gmail account, needed to be changed due to security problems. I changed my email and want to be able to keep my Gamertag but using the new email address. My goal is to get all accounts attached to the old email changed to the new one for security reasons. I really appreciate your willingness to answer my questions!

okay. let's try this here since i can't seem to get the post to work any other way. i have a new WP7 phone. i want to use my hotmail as my primary WLID and unify my accounts. i originally made my xbox account with my gmail. i logged into my old hotmail today.
i then went into the xbox settings to change the xbox accoutn association and got rejected--it says there's an xbox account associated with my hotmail (i don't remember setting this up, and in fact didn't have an xbox when i last used the account) is there
a way to transfer the xbox accoutn from gmail association to hotmail association? or am i better off making my gmail my primary WLID?
