move one xbox account from one MS email address to another and keep all my game saves and ...

ZELEZR00 · Nov 14, 2018

I've been told this can not be done. I want to delete and stop using an old hotmail account that is associated to my xbox live account, but first I would like to move my xbox account to my new outlook.com account. I am told this is
impossible, there has to be a way, nothing is impossible. PLEASE ADVISE!!!

Possible to change Microsoft Account associated with gamertag?

I have another gamertag besides the one associated with this account that has all of the rights for my downloaded games but I have another family member who uses the email address associated with that Microsoft account and gamertag. We both want the xbox
live account and gamertag moved to this account for the sake of simplicity moving forward. This is not a question of changing the email address of the current tag in question, but the MS account of that tag. I'm amazed there's no obvious way of doing this
(if any) already, and I would greatly appreciate some help doing this.

Since outlook.com is already a MS account it will not be able to be done.

You can do one of two things both can be done on the same site.

You can sign in at account.microsoft.com/addassocid with your Hotmail account once you verify ownership it will give you 2 options on the page

Create a new (outlook) account. This will create a whole new MS account with an outlook email (you will NOT be able to use your current outlook account)

Or if you have a non MS server like Gmail, Yahoo, ISP account that is NOT a MS account already you can choose the second option of use an existing email they will then send you an email verifying that you have ownership of that email and once you verify
that it will be added as an alias on your account.

Once you get the new email into the account you can then make that new email the primary email and if you want you can then remove the Hotmail email from the account IF YOU DO THIS KEEP IN MIND that once you remove the Hotmail email from the account it will
be gone FOREVER and you will never be able to get it back.

Keep in mind changing the alias like this ALL it is doing is changing the email you use to sign into the account with EVERYTHING else will remain the same like your passwords, billing info, security proofs (what they use to verify ownership of your account).
Also all of your game saves and purchases will still remain on that account with the new email address.

Hi there,

-

Like x24hrs2livex mentions, you can not merge accounts, you will have to start everything from scratch.

Gamerscore, saved games, gamertag, purchases can not be moved.

If your goal was to move that xbox live account connected to your fathers email address to your own address, you should have used the steps on this link:

support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account these steps will move a xbox live account from one email (Microsoft Account) to another.

-

You can still do this, but you will first need to move the newly created xbox live account to another Microsoft Account to free up your email address. (See the Notes part on that link)

You cannot add his email address as an alias as it is already connected with another MS account (his own). There is no way to move any content or saves to the new account.

Unfortunately there is not a way to migrate games and saved data from one account to another. You can however, if the email address is not a Microsoft one (@outlook, @hotmail, @live etc) change the primary email address. If you delete a Microsoft email
address, it will close down the email account and all access you may have to other Microsoft services

Unfortunately there is no way to transfer purchases from one MS account to another. The only thing that can be done is to change the email address to the MS account to one that you have access to this may be an issue if your parents have used that account
for things for themselves and/or it is a MS server email (Hotmail, outlook, MSN, live .com email addresses) and they still use it for themselves.
