    Just changed my E-mail but can't use the old one to change E-mail on another Xbox account.


    Like that title says, I've changed the E-mail of some secondary Xbox account to some crappy E-mail that I don't use, since the secondary account had my primary E-mail. But now I want to replace my old E-mail which is linked to my primary Xbox live account
    with my new primary E-mail but I can't. Is it because I need to wait for the change to happen ? What I also find weird is that I can stil log into this account with my Previous linked E-mail and the newly linked E-mail. I hope I just need to wait for some
    time for the changes to go in effect ?

    :)

  2. E-mail associated with my Xbox Live account.

    I made a new e-mail(alias) on my microsoft account that is associated with my Xbox Live account. I changed the new e-mail(alias) to primary and it changed on my Xbox Live automatically and I changed it to the new one on my account contact settings too and
    everything is working.

    But there is one small issue, although I change everything to the new e-mail(alias) I still get all e-mail from Xbox Live on my old e-mail(alias) and games like World of Tanks(beta) where you have to accept stuff and they show your e-mail is still saying
    I'm on my old e-mail(alias).

    Is there something I forgot to change or is it something that support can change?

  3. Can you sign in Xbox live with a different E-mail account?

    So, I have already an Xbox Live user and my E-mail account I used to sign in Xbox Live is about to close. Can I use a different E-mail account to sign in Live with the same user?

    It's important, because I have all my achievements/ plus friends in this user and I cannot try it out, because I have not created another E-mail account, yet.

    That wasn't what I meant, what I meant is how long do I need to wait to use my primary e-mail on my primary xbox live account since I've already changed my primary email with some secondary email. Do I again need to wait for a month until I can use my primary
    email to replace the email on my primary xbox live account ?

    Changing email addresses

    Hi there Hornet, here are a few tips I can think of:

    First off, try to remember the Email and Password of the old account.

    If you cannot, go to account.live.com and click 'Can't access your account?'. I'm assuming since you want to change the e-mail to the old one, you can still access the e-mail.

    Then, use a different e-mail that is not linked to a Windows LIVE ID (after you've completed the recovery steps) and set it to that.

    Then, on your primary account (which you want to change to the old e-mail), just change it to your old e-mail, and that should be all :)

    Hope I helped! Have a nice day!

    Changing E-mail information

    That worked for me, thank you!

    I got the mail for the 2nd issue I was having changed (presumably, time will tell), but not the first one..

    When I chose to change E-mail (or update if you will), I picked the 2nd option to "use another E-mail". When I enter in my preferred E-mail adress it says the "E-mail is not avaiable". I didn't chose to create a new E-mail, just "Use another E-mail"...

    Thanks for hte help so far!

    Two gamer tags associated to one email address

    So what you did was change the sign in e-mail, not the login e-mail. The log in e-mail still uses the old address. You can change his Microsoft Account using the steps here:

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

    However to do that you will need to use a different e-mail as you can't have 2 gamertags on the same e-mail.

    deactivation

    Start by changing the e-mail on your old account to a different e-mail address. That will free up the e-mail address from the old account so that it can be used on your new account.

    You can change the e-mail (the answer is YES!!!)

    You go in your account go to your register and change the e-mail (warning!!! if you want to change the e-mail that e-mail don´t have be atached whif no account in XBL, because you can´t use the same e-mail for 2 accounts).

    If you don´t have that problem is just change and wait the e-mail of confirmation

    And go to WLA management and use the remove account tool for the Unwanted account

    If you have already use the e-mail you want in the "unwanted account" you have to do a little marathon...first go to account you want to delete and change there the e-mail (put a non used e-mail, just to speed up the process you can open a new e-mail in
    some free e-mail service...after changed now you can change the e-mail in your "main" account and put the e-mail you wish and after changes the e-mail of both accounts you can dlete the Unwanted account by WLA if you cant knok the adress go to xbox. com account
    management and in the low page option you have account management there you can manage your account.

    I hope i help you and forgive my bad english it´s self learnerd.
