    Move Xbox Live account to another Microsoft account


    Hello all.

    Is there some way for me to move a Xbox Live account from one Microsoft account to another.

    When we bought the Xbox-One we used my Microsoft account to create the Xbox Live account.

    I now like to move the Xbox Live account to my sons Microsoft account.

    Someone that have experience of this and know how to do it?

    Appropriate your answers.

    Have a nice day.

    :)

    How to Download, Move or Delete Xbox Live Profiles

    You need to download, move or delete your Xbox Live profile in certain circumstances. If you want to play on multiple consoles of your own or of your friends, you will have to download or move your Xbox Live profile from one console to another.

    In addition, you might need to download the Xbox Live profile for the following reasons:

    • You deleted you Xbox live profile by mistake.
    • You need to use your Xbox LIVE gamertag on another console.
    • You want to use your existing Zune or Games for Windows account instead of creating a new account.

    You can also move your profile to the other consoles using a USB flash drive.


    How to download Your Xbox Live Profile

    You can easily download your Xbox Live gamertag to a console by following a few easy steps:

    • Press the larger X button in the center of your controller which will lead you to the Xbox Guide.
    • Select Download Profile to start download. If your do not find this option, sign out of your profile by pressing X.
    Enter the user ID of your Microsoft account (Windows Live ID) which is associated with your Xbox Live gamertag and then enter the password. Select the desired storage drive to save the profile.

    Note: A Microsoft account is essential for signing in to any Microsoft services like Xbox Live. You have to provide your parent’s Microsoft account information to download the profile if your account is an Xbox Live child account.

    You can save your "Microsoft account" password on the console, so that you don't need to provide it to sign into your profile again. The Remember Password option is off by default. It is better to save the password on your own console not to be asked to enter the password again and again at the time of singing into your profile. If you are using a console that is not yours, you may want to leave the Remember Password option off (unchecked).

    Now you should be able to sign in with your gamertag on the console.

    **If per chance you did opt to check the Remember Password option on someone else's console, your password can be remotely removed off of that console. Check out How to Password Protect your Profile on Xbox Live.**


    How to move your profile to another console

    You can easily move your profile to another console using a USB flash drive or Xbox Memory unit following these steps:
    • First off, plug a USB flash drive or an original Xbox 360 Memory Unit into your console.
    • Go to the Settings option to select storage and then select All Devices.
    • Select Gamer Profiles and Press Move.
    • You need to select the USB Storage Device or Memory Unit
    After performing the above successfully, remove the memory unit or USB flash drive and insert it into the console on which you want to move your profile. You are required to enter your Microsoft account password which ensures the security of your account.

    After playing on another console, if you want to move it to previous console, remove the USB flash drive or Memory unit and take it back to the original console and repeat the steps above.

    **You will be asked for your Microsoft account password when you move your profile to a different console. This is to protect you and your account if the device is ever stolen. If you want to find out more, check out How to Password Protect your Profile on Xbox Live.**


    How to delete a gamer profile


    You can delete unused profiles following few steps:

    • Go to Settings to select system.
    • Select Storage
    • Go to All Devices and select Gamer Profiles.
    • Select the gamertag that you want to delete.
    • Press delete.
    Note: You can delete the profiles only or you can delete both the profiles and items (the associated saved games and achievements).

    Move Xbox Live account to another Microsoft account

    Hello, no there is not a way currently to move an xbox live account between microsoft accounts. They are linked together very closely. What you can do is go to your account on Microsoft.com and under your profile picture you click more options > edit profile >
    Manage how you sign in > and click add an email. This merely changes how you sign in via email, It technically is still the same microsoft account always along with the linked xbox live account.

    Deleting Gamertag from existence

    Hi there,

    -

    like mentioned it is not possible to delete a xbox live account, but there is a way for you to achieve the goal you want.

    You can move xbox live accounts to another Microsoft Account, which will free up the email address and to be used to move another xbox live account to it.

    Be aware that you can only move an xbox live account to another Microsoft Account when the account has been on a xbox 360 console for at least 30 days without it being downloaded and be sure not to use any devices with the Microsoft account while doing the switch
    Microsoft Account steps, to prevent auto creation of another xbox live account

    So you will basically want to do the following.

    -Download the profiles to the xbox 360 console if they are not present on the console yet and wait 30 days if one of them was downloaded

    -Move the unwanted xbox live account you want to remove to a (new) different Microsoft Account, to free up the email address

    -Move the wanted xbox live account to the just freed up Microsoft Account

    -

    See this link for step by step instructions how to switch a xbox live account to another Microsoft Account:

    Transferring an X-Box Live Profile to another Microsoft Account

    Hi there,

    you can't delete an xbox live account, but the thing you will need to do is to move that xbox live account to another Microsoft Account (which can be closed afterwards). This will free up the outlook account and you should be able to move your xbox live
    account to that outlook account.

    Just be sure that you do not use the outlook account on a windows Phone or windows 8 device while transferring, since this will generate a xbox live account when none is present.

    So, use the following steps:

    1. Download the xbox live account on the outlook account to the xbox console

    2. wait 30 days, then move that xbox live account to another (new temporary) Microsoft account. An xbox live account can only be moved when it has been on a console for at least 30 days without being downloaded. Be sure not to use any windows device with
    your outlook account connected when doing these steps.

    3. Move your xbox live account to the outlook account.
