Move Gamertag to different email

Casatara7 · Aug 17, 2020

I have a xbox one s. The xbox live is setup with my email and only my son usesit to play so his gamertag is alocated to my email.

My son just recently created his own email so I would like to move his gamertag from my email to his.

I will still remain the main account holder. How do I move the gamertag?

Is the email a third party email like yahoo or gmail or is it a Microsoft email like outlook or Hotmail. If it is third party you can change the account email at account.microsoft.com under your info Manage how you sign in to Microsoft. If it is a Microsoft
address and you change the email that email will disappear so do not change if you are using that email. Be very careful this cannot be reverted

Hi Jaguar!

Unfortunately you cannot unlink accounts - what is recommended here is to make a third "dummy" account, and use it to move your profile as follows:

"Old" Email

"New" Email

"Dummy" Email.

Move your gamertag from "New" Email to "Dummy" Email. Then move your gamertag from "Old" Email to "New" Email. At this point you can then just trash Dummy email, and your new email will have your old gamertag

Hope this makes sense!

Hi there,

So if I understand correctly, you would prefer your new xbox live account moved to the old email address. Correct?

The only way to remove a gamertag from an email address is by moving it to a different email address (Microsoft Account), but in order to do so, the account must be on a console for at least 30 days without it being downloaded in that period.

Besides that, replacing it with the new one, will also result in loss of the balance on the current account, since that would need to be moved too.

You don't mention if you have already gone to
http://account.live.com to change the email, you would sign in to this web page with the email and password for your gamertag, then you would go to "Aliases" and change the email from there.
