I want to change my xbox microsoft email.

do not add an alias, you will need to have a new account as the microsoft account is also the xbox account, this is your dads, if you cnage anything then he will lose everything. make your own account then make sure your dads account is sxet as home on the console and then start over.

Hello there!

Regarding your explanation, I believe you will need to actually add an alias to your account. Please follow the instructions you have on this link and your issue should be resolved.

Change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account | Xbox Support

Hi brad

I am not wanting to change the email of the Microsoft account as its my parents Microsoft. I was hoping there would be a way to change the Xbox account to my Microsoft instead?

Hi there,

you can't merge accounts itself or fully move the Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft Account, but something that could work for you is changing the primary email address for the Microsoft Account.

My assumption what steps might be required are:

- Change the primary email on the New Unused Xbox Account account to something else (you might need a new MS account/email for that) so that the Wanted email address is no longer attached to a Microsoft Account.

- Change the primary email on the Old Xbox account to the new wanted email address, so that that Wanted email address can be used to sign in to the Xbox main account.

See this link for the full information on how to change the primary email address on a Microsoft Account

Let us know the results

No, the email address I want to use is the new one. I've already recovered my old account (this one) which is the one I want to keep, just attached to the new email address. I've created a new microsoft account and xbox account for the email I want to
use, but when I try to 'Change Microsoft Account' on my xbox it says the email doesn't have an xbox account. But I can use that email to log into the website and can use it on my xbox by downloading that profile.

so... email 1 is used for the "" account, and email 2 is newly set up with "Temporary Placeholder style name" account. I try to Change Microsoft account from email 1 to email 2, but it says there is no account on email 2.

The email on this account is only active temporarily and I am trying to change it to the new email so I do not loose my purchases.
