    if i change the primary atlas on my microsoft account will it affect the other email? And will I keep all my data on games?

    Hello, Slimsybump09. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    No, changing your primary email shouldn't represent any issues with purchased content you already gave, or saved progress you already made on your games.

    Your other email address will not be affected as long as you don't decide to remove it.

    Below, I'm going to share some things you need to keep in mind during the add/remove alias process:

    “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.

    If you remove an alias that's an email address from a Microsoft domain (like @hotmail.com, @live.com, @outlook.com, or @msn.com), you're permanently deleting the alias, and it can't be associated with any Microsoft account again.

    If you're removing a primary alias, you'll need to choose another primary alias before it can be removed.

    If you remove an email address from a non-Microsoft domain (like @gmail.com), then it usually becomes immediately available to be added as an alias on another Microsoft account.”

    I hope you find this answer helpful to your inquiry. However, I'll remain attentive to any other one you may have.

    Regards,

    Arturo.

    Your organization's policies prevent you from changing your primary alias.

    Yes this is where I get the error.

    It looks like this

    I’m not going to put my actual email for security reasons.

    *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** (primary atlas)

    Your Organization prevents you from changing your primary atlas.

    If you want I can send you image and I appreciate the help.

    Hello Conner,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. You can
    change your primary email
    with a email that is not tied to a Microsoft account. Just a important note if the primary is a Hotmail, outlook or any other Microsoft email if you remove it from the account totally that email is dead and gets deleted. Make sure
    if you have one as primary to keep on there as a secondary email.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Email address associated with XBOX account

    Hello Kim_1210,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in changing the email address associated with your son's account. This is definitely possible to do without affecting his Xbox profile's information, saved data and content.
    This process is called
    changing the primary alias
    . The primary alias is the email address that is used to sign in to the account. The article that we provided explains how to complete this process. Be sure to let us know the results!

    Merge two accounts?

    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
