Move Gamertag from Adult Email to Kid Email without losing all the **** I've spent so much...

game progress cant be transferred from one account to another.

but if you sign in to the Xbox with the account you bought games on and set it as the Home Xbox then your child can sign in with their new account and play all the games.

this link explains everything about setting a Home Xbox and what can be shared

I am not too sure of this issue but I would recommend going to the link that is attached to this "Reply"

What I understood that you want to change emails on your Microsoft account so you can control limit times and etc...

Something to keep in mind if you are wanting to change an email address on your Microsoft account you must add the second email and than removing the one you no longer need. Here are some steps for this: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/add-or-remove-an-email-alias-in-outlook-com-459b1989-356d-40fa-a689-8f285b13f1f2?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

if the primary email address is a Microsoft account (Outlook, Live, Hotmail) it can't be removed as this will close the email account permanently and it will no longer be accessible.

Hello Forest Fairy,

Please do NOT let younger kids play on your email account! Because that will make the kids appear as an adult to the system and you can NOT restrict the kid anymore. The kid can then play as long as they want, talk to strangers on the internet, buy unlimited
stuff with your credit card etc.

Instead, you SHOULD create a separate child account for your 7 year old, and add that account to your adult parent account at
https://account.microsoft.com/family.

There you can then set limits and other parental settings to tell Xbox Live what your kid is allowed to do and what not.

Unfortunately, that means he'll lose his gaming progress.

That's why it's important to NEVER let your kid play on your parent email!

Basically, you can now let the kid continue playing unrestricted on your parent account, and cause him much more grief when he gets older and wants his own account email, or you talk with your kid, and explain to him that he can now play all his games again
from the beginning.

If you do NOT use a Microsoft Email (like Hotmail, Live or Outlook email), and you do NOT use other Microsoft services like OneDrive, Office 365, and the likes, you can try the following:

You can sign in on
https://account.microsoft.com and add a sign in alias to your own account, that you wish to transfer to your son.

Add his own email (or if necessary create a new email for him) as a sign in alias.

Make his new email the primary sign in alias for that account.

Then you can remove your own email.

BEWARE!!! If your own Email is a Microsoft Account email (Hotmail, Outlook etc.), then you WILL LOSE your Email!!!

If it's a Gmail, Yahoo or other email service, then you still have your own email, but you will lose access to any Microsoft Service you used with that email.

Also, your kid will still be considered to be an adult, as his Gamertag was created with your adult account, and thus you can't restrict his playtime, who can talk to him via Xbox Live and so on!

So in my opinion: Creating a new account for your son, and adding that to your family account is a much more secure solution for you and your kid. Even if that means your kid has to start over playing.

It's "just" 7 months of playtime he's losing, compared to several years of "unprotected" gaming, if you keep him on your account.

So there's seriously no way to change my email without having access to the current one? that seems a little stupid, what if someone had hacked my account and then changed the email? I'm sure there must be a way to use information relating to the gamertag
itself to recover the gamertag and change the email in that case, and if so why can't such a method be used here ?

I really don't feel like losing all my paid for dlc/time spent on this account I can prove I own.
