I need to change my email address on xbox gamertag account and add new alias and........

I'm trying to add my new email as alias on my old gamertag but it doesn't work!

I select "Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias" and than I put my email @outlook.com when a message comes up "This email address is already taken. Please try another one"

Is there another way to change the email associated to my old gamertag? Thanks

Hi there RaisedIndoors,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with changing alias on a Microsoft Account.

When changing the alias on the account it has to be a new email or a 3rd party email. You will receive an error is you are trying to use an active Microsoft email, for example: hotmail.com, outlook.com.

I recommend reviewing the following article: Change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account

• A new email address. Select Create a new email address and add it as an alias, and then follow the instructions.

• A non-Microsoft email address (such as an @gmail.com or
  @yahoo.com email address). Select Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias, and then select Add alias.

Hope this helps.

Sign into your Microsoft account (formerly known as windows live id) on account.live.com

On the OVERVIEW page that says "Account Summary" at the top, click on Add or Change Alias (found under the name and birthday).

On the next page click on Add Alias and then create a new Microsoft email address.

Make the new email the primary alias and then remove the old email that you want to use.

This will then associate your old/unused gamertag to that new email and will make your old email available to use on the different gamertag.

There will be a 30-day waiting period before you can create a new Microsoft account using that removed email address.

Hello, Megan M. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I would like to ask, is your daughter’s Minecraft account under your Microsoft account/email address, or she has an account for her?

In addition to that, in order to change the email address associated with a Microsoft account, you need to follow these steps:

Go to Add an alias (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=864833). Sign in to your Microsoft account, if prompted.

Under Add an alias, do one of the following:

Create a new Outlook.com email address and add it as an alias.

Add an existing email address as an alias.

Select Add alias.

Notes:

You can't add an email address that's associated with a work or school account as an alias.

An alias or email address can only contain letters, numbers, dot (.), underscore (_) or dash/hyphen (-). Spaces and other special characters aren't allowed.

Existing Hotmail, Live, Outlook.com, and MSN addresses can't be added as aliases, and you can't add an alias that is already associated with another Microsoft account.

It isn't possible to create a new alias using @hotmail, @live.com, or @msn.com. If a Hotmail address is important to you, you need to sign out and create a new account.

Hello, DaGadlyFalsh. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

The only way to change the email address of your Microsoft Account is by adding an alias email to your account (a second email address to it), and then making this second email address the primary email for your Microsoft Account.

But, there's an issue. You can't add to your Microsoft Account an alias email address that is linked to another Microsoft Account. So you have only two options here:

1. You can create a new email address to be used as an alias to change your current Microsoft Account email address. But it needs to be created on the "Add an alias" page:

Sign in to: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=529489

Under the Account Aliases section, select Add Email.

Choose Create a new email address and add it as an alias, and then follow the instructions.

After you've added the email address, verify it by clicking on the link that you'll receive on your inbox.

2. You can delete the Microsoft Account that has the email that you want to use as an alias. After you delete it, you'll need to wait 60 days for it to be removed from the Microsoft system and it'll be available to be used again. You'll need to create it on the "Create a new email address and add it as an alias" page.

Unfortunately, there's the only two options you have. If you have any question or doubt about it, please let me know.
