if I make a new Microsoft account then switch that Microsoft account will I keep my games...

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there.

I'm Wille, an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

There is no possibility of transferring a game to another account, access is unique and exclusive to that account.

Now, some users often create an alias within their Microsoft account. Alias has the same features and signatures added to the account as it only changes how you log in, however it is the same account.

There is more information in the link below:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-...

If you think about making this alias the default, and removing the old one. Be careful because:

- 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 these information helps somehow. Feel free to let us know if you have further questions or concerns and we will try with our knowledge to offer assistance.

Hugs!

You can still make the change, but the funds won't carry over. It's actually mentioned on the how-to page -

support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

When you change to a new Microsoft account, the current funds in your original Microsoft account do not transfer to your new Microsoft account.

Or if you switched your gamertag to a whole new Microsoft account then your currency would not switch over to the new Microsoft account either. Really any kind of switching you do it states that any currency you have does not go with your gamertag.

"When you change to a new Microsoft account, the current funds in your original Microsoft account do not transfer to your new Microsoft account." is what its says for switching a gamertag to a new Microsoft account, found here:

support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

thanks for the help but i have access to my microsoft account the hacker switched the primary alias and took my minecraft and xbox accounts and left me with nothing and microsoft made me make new accounts and made me buy minecraft again

Hi there,

the closest thing to deleting an account is moving it to another Microsoft Account and then close that Microsoft Account.

An option is to create a new Microsoft Account, move the xbox live account to that new Microsoft Account and close that Microsoft Account afterwards. This should make the xbox live account inaccessible

See this link for the how to move the account to another Microsoft Account:
support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

To close a Microsoft Account go to this link:
https://account.live.com/ and use the Close Account option at the bottom

I hope this will allow and help you to let your son go...
