Move XBOX Live Account from one email address to another

Hi there,

I want to move my gamer profile from an old email address to my primary Microsoft account. I mistakenly created a new XBOX 360 account for my primary Microsoft account. When I try to move the account on the XBOX 360 It says it cant move the account as its
already associated with another XBOX live account. So my question is, can I delete the new XBOX Live account I created for my primary Microsoft account?

Thanks

Ian

How to Change your Xbox LIVE account information

Overview

It is possible to change information associated with your Xbox LIVE account like your name, address, phone number or email address.

Note: You cannot change the country that is associated with your Xbox LIVE account. If you have moved to another country and you would like to access Xbox LIVE from there, you have to create a new Xbox LIVE account in your new location.

How to Change your name, address, phone number or email on Xbox.com

1) Go to My Account and Sign In with your Microsoft Account. (This is the email and password that is associated with your Xbox LIVE account).

2) Make the changes you want to your billings account information and then click Save.

How to Change your name, address, phone number or email on your console.

1) Sign in using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.

2) Proceed to Settings, and then select Account.

3) Select Your Information, and then go to Billing Information.

4) Sign In with your Microsoft account password.

5) Change your billing account information and then click Done.

In case you want to change the billing name on your Xbox LIVE account, go to Xbox.com

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)

 

Hey there HumorousBump1

You can actually move your profile to a temporary Microsoft Account and then move your desired profile to your (now free) Microsoft Account. The page below should help you through the process.

I hope that helps.

Many thanks,

Hi there, the link to the error code seems dead. However looking at other forums seems to suggest the following:

1. Create a new Microsoft account (account#3).

2. Logon to the XBOX as the primary account (account#1). Switch the profile to the newly created account#3 from my primary account (account#1)

3. Logon to the XBOX as account#2 and switch this profile to my primary Microsoft account (account#1).

I'm I in the right park here? Also forums seem to suggest that you have to wait 30 days to be allowed to switch accounts, is this the case?

Thanks,

Ian.

 

That's the process you would need to do, yes Unfortunately there is a 30 day waiting period before you can switch the account out, so you would need to wait for the full period to pass. Please note that the 30 day timer will reset if you download your
profile from Xbox LIVE to a device / console.

 

I found a link to the error code page that should work ^
