Linking you xbox live account to a new email

xXxn3iLxXx · Aug 3, 2014

I was asking this question because I can't seem to understand how to do it on the xbox one. I can do it on the Xbox 360.

i would like to link my Xbox live account to my current email address. I have already gone through the steps of creating a bogus email address months back to put my old account on to free up my current email address. It seems you can only do this every three
or so months.

Here is the link for what I'm attempting: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-ac...witch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

One year anniversary of the one - thanks message from xbox

I am sure whatever they give will be linked to the Xbox account message system.

I had that problem with using an old email. I switched the email through windows live. It took like 30 days to do that though. At least I get the emails now.

Does XBOX live still work for the Xbox 360?

1) does the 360 you have have the wifi adapter? It should say on the box

2) there are free games with Xbox live subscription every month. There could be free avatar stuff but mostly everything is to pay for.

3) Xbox live is still alive for the 360 and I'm sure there are people playing some of those games. Just not sure how many.

4) don't need a Kinect for Xbox live.

5) yes, you'll be able to play the single player after the month. However, you need Xbox live go play it multiplayer

6) your account is linked to the email address provided so you'll always have that account if you have the email address and password linked to the GT. the one month trial is only for online play.

The easiest way that I have always done this is to go to
http://account.live.com and add an alias to account. If you set the alias as a Primary Alias all emails from xbox will go to that new Primary Alias.

Hi there,

see this link for the steps on how change the email address on the account (basically the steps mentioned by x24hrslivex) :

support.xbox.com/.../change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

The link you are using is only for the xbox 360 and will change the complete Microsoft Account

Hi SwagkingMMB,

Is the email you using for your Xbox Live account your mother's email account? If you change the email addresss that belongs to your mother than your basically changing her email address. She will then have to create a new email account for herself. I
recommend talking it over with her so she is aware of what is going on. Then if she agrees you could just edit the email account to your Xbox Live account and your mother can create a new email account for herself.

You can't make a new email account and link it to yours. If you create a new email account you'll lose all game, game progression, and media associated with the email link to your current Xbox Live account.

Also, are you part of a family account on Xbox?

If you've created a new account with the new email, which appears to be the case, you need to create a dummy microsoft account with a new email to move this account over to, freeing up this email to change his account to.

When you create a new microsoft account and email, you must be careful not to create a new xbox live profile as well.

.

Can one of the link quick ambassadors post the links to the steps?

Let me rephrase my question, the email linked to my xbox live account has been deleted, my new email is the one i want linked to my account, when i sign in to xbox live i see my non existing email address in the top right corner, all i want to do is change
the Email that is linked to my account. Is there any way i can do this without creating a new account???
