I want to switch the Microsoft account connected with my Xbox account

I'm not positive but if you want your Xbox profile stats like achievements to a new name, you need to just change your gamertag, which may cost some money. First change is for free.

Ah yes, I did fail to mention what I wanted to do. Thanks for pointing that out.

If you want to switch your xbox live account to your new Microsoft Account, you will first need to remove that new auto generated xbox live account. This can only be done on the console, and only when a profile has been on a console 30 days without being
downloaded inbetween. See this link for the how to:

I want to use my current XBL account with my new @live email account. My current email account connected to my GT is a non Microsoft email. The generated GT has not been on my console. I will check that link. Thanks.

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Neil

May I know if the Nintendo switch account is connected to that Xbox/Microsoft account?

And, if I understood well. As soon as you want to play online. The Microsoft account used inside Minecraft changes automatically to the Xbox account, right?

i wanted to switch my xbox account to a new microsoft account, and when i made that, it already had an account on it. Now i made this account to follow the instructions and it has an xbox profile on it too.

Whenever you use a Microsoft Account (email) on a windows 8 machine, it will auto create a xbox live account for it, because it is using the same 'network' called Xbox Live

So it is normal that there is already an account created for that Microsoft Account (email)

The question now is, what exactly do you want to do?

Do you want to connect your old xbox live account to that new Microsoft Account, or use your old xbox live account with the old email address on your windows 8 laptop?
