I lost primary email can’t log in

okay thank you, but regards to having to sign in to change my primary alias, as I cant do that because ive lost the password to that email, what am I supposed to do? is there another way I can log in and change it?

If I kept his email on there, and added mine and made mine primary would his email account still get lost and then I get the emails? Or will everything still be the same.

You're welcome, also, before making any changes make sure to check the information on the link.

Important notes are the following:

" When removing an email alias that’s connected to a Microsoft domain (such as @Outlook.com, @Live.com, or @Hotmail.com), that email is completely deleted from our systems and can’t be used to send or receive emails. It won’t be available for use again as an alias on another account. Microsoft doesn’t recycle email addresses, so it can’t be reclaimed at a future time."

"If it’s a primary alias, select a new primary before you remove the old one. To do so, select one of the other aliases that are on the account, and then select Make primary."

Hello RobertSlaughter1,

Thank you for posting on Xbox Forums. In regards to this issue with the lost account, unfortunately, due to the primary email being removed from the account the account cannot be recovered.
If you have already tried logging in with the primary email and it does not let you because the email no longer exists then there isn't any way to recover the account. Once the primary email is removed the account is no longer able to be accessed
or logged into.

I understand that this is not the verdict or resolution you were looking for, however, at this time since there are no other resolutions for this issue we will be locking this thread. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel
free to create a new thread.

Thank you again for posting on Xbox Forums.

Now, you can make his Gmail account as the "primary" email for his Xbox account. Kindly click on the "primary" option shown on the screenshot you sent.

NOTE: Once your Hotmail account is set as the secondary email, do not remove it as it will be completely deleted from the system and can’t be used to send or receive emails.
