    It is possible to switch the Microsoft account my Xbox account is connected to or switch...


    So, I’ve had the same Xbox account for a long time, and I don’t want to switch, but I recently got a new email address, and I’m trying to switch to only using it. When I signed in with my new email address on my new laptop, I think it automatically made a Microsoft account for me. Due to this, I haven’t been able to switch the email my Microsoft account is connected to. When I put my new email in the “Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias” box of account setting, which everything I’ve read says is the way to change it, it says “This email address is already taken. Please try another.”

    I’m mostly signed into my Xbox account on my laptop, but not my old Microsoft account, and I can’t sign in on the Xbox app because it keeps trying to have me make a new account for my new Microsoft account, and I don’t want that. Anyway, earlier today I tried to buy Java edition Minecraft, but it ended up on my new Microsoft account so I can’t play it on my Xbox account, which means my computer won’t let me download it, which is obviously a problem.

    Is there a way for me to merge my two Microsoft accounts somehow? Should I try and refund my purchase and then delete my new Microsoft account (if that’s possible?) in order to be able to switch the email of my old one? Or should I refund it and then rebuy it with my old Microsoft account that’s still connected to an email I’m not really using anymore? Ideally though, I’d just like to switch the Microsoft account that my Xbox account is connected to, but unfortunately things I’ve seen online say that’s not possible.

    :)

    Transfer gamertag from one microsoft account to another

    Unfortunately this is not possible and since your email is a Microsoft email (Live, Hotmail or Outlook) you can't switch the email to another one and have the account not be connected to that email anymore, technically.

    You can switch the login emails around but you CAN'T switch TO a Microsoft email when you do this (Live, Hotmail or Outlook). You can switch to another email provider but you can't switch between Microsoft emails as they're permanently connected to that
    account they were created on. For example, you can't switch this account's email login to another Microsoft account because that email is attached to a Microsoft account already.

    The only solution is to start over and have him create a new account and have the account that owns all the games to be set as the my home xbox account on the xbox one so that the new account can play all the games that account owns BUT the saves and any
    progress will not move over and some DLC will not share, also.

    Gamertag issue

    HI there,

    -

    are both accounts connected to the same Microsoft Account (email address)?

    If that is the case you will need to try and move the TwinnedIsland account to another Microsoft Account. As far as I know that is only possible via the xbox 360 console via the steps on this link:

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


    -

    After that account is moved, the other should re-emerge again.

    Account Switch - Possible

    Hi JJ29,

    Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We see you have question on account control. Currently the account is an adult account most likely. With adult accounts there is no way to put any restrictions or anything. Unfortunately, data and things are unable
    to be transferred from one account to another. You would need to make a child account for your son. This way you can manage permissions for the account. Here are a couple links that will help you.

    1. https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/security/add-family-member-on-xbox-one

    Hope this helps.

    Can't change Microsoft accounts on Nintendo switch.

    Hi Georges,

    thank you for your answer. I disagree. The problem is with a Microsoft account within minecraft. The issue is definitely with Microsoft.

    In Minecraft on switch there is a button to logout from Minecraft. When you login again, the authentication of the first Microsoft account which was logged into is prompted. There is no possibility to change the Microsoft account.

    There is an additional button "Delete Microsoft account login data". If this is pressed you are asked, if you are sure. If you press yes, nothing happens. Nothing has changed with login either.

    Can you help us, please?

    Issue is, I connected the Switch Minecraft version with my adult Microsoft account. Now my son is old enough and I want, that he logs into the switch with his own account. But I cannot change the Microsoft login account of switch minecraft. :-(

    Best
