Microsoft account problems ,removing account

In order for you to change the email on your Microsoft account you need to go through this link:

account.live.com/ChangeId.aspx

Sign in. And change the email to a desired one.

Then you need to removed your profile from the console and redownload it with the new email.

...My son has an email that is already linked as my "child" if I remove that and change the account to his email as the primary alias and then remove mine, will I then be able to add him back to my Microsoft account as my child, now with my old gamertag
as his (so he can keep all his stats and such)?

As I described above, be aware that if you remove a sign in alias from a Microsoft Account, that Microsoft Account gets DELETED!

If your "parent" email is a Gmail or Yahoo or other third party email, that's not a problem, as the Microsoft Account "only" is a username that looks like an email. And if you didn't use any other Microsoft services like OneDrive and the likes, the account
deletion is not a problem.

However, if your parent Microsoft Account is a Microsoft service email like "live.com", "outlook.com", "Hotmail.com" or the country equivalents like "Hotmail.co.uk" or something, then be aware that removing that Microsoft Account from your son's account
will delete everything from that account, and you'll basically creating a new and empty parent account!

1. Create another microsoft account and xbox account
2. Add the account with the problem as a child to the family
3. Change the setting from the "Adult" account
4. Then remove the "adult" account from the family

Worked for me atleast.

thats the problem i dont know the password for [REMOVED - DO NOT POST EMAIL OR MICROSOFT ACCOUNT]

Hi Rodrigo, signing out of the account on the switch isn't a problem it's the account that has never belonged to me that's linked to my Microsoft account that i want removing/deleting

Thanks
