  4. Moving digital content from one account to the other

    Unfortunately there is not anyway to do this once content is purchased on an account it is permanently attached to that account.

    If you are wanting to change the email address associated with the account you can but it can not be an email that is already attached to another MS account. Here is a support link on how to change the email address associated with a MS account.

    How to Change Microsoft Account Email Address

    Keep in mind since you said that your current email is an outlook account if you do add another alias to your account and then remove the outlook account that outlook email will be GONE FOREVER and not be able to get it back so if you still want to use that
    outlook email DO NOT remove it from your account. You can still add another email to the account as an alias and use it to sign in with and keep the outlook email on there at the same time but IF you REMOVE the outlook email from the account again it will
    be GONE FOREVER.

  7. Hi there,

    The option to move digital content between accounts has never been an option on the Live service and I've been on Live since the OG Xbox days.

    If you make your console the purchasing account's home console you will be able to access the games. If you change consoles though, you will need to log the account in and do it to the new console.
