Moving xbox profile to different microsoft account

Hi there,

to remove that gamer profile from that Microsoft account, you will need to move that gamer profile to a different Microsoft account, you can do this via the xbox console. You will first need to download that profile onto the console to be able to move it.
But after a profile is downloaded it will take 30 days before it can be moved to a different Microsoft account (this is a security measure)

After that you can move that account to a different Microsoft account to free up the Microsoft account you want to use for your gamer profile and then you can move your gamer profile to your Microsoft account.

Hi there,

the only way to achieve that is to move that 'generated' Gamertag to a different Microsoft Account.

In steps:

1. download that 'generated' Gamertag to the xbox console

2. wait 30 days (A profile can only be moved to a different Microsoft account when it has been for 30 days on a console)

3. move the 'generated' Gamertag to a different Microsoft account

4. move your gamerprofile to the just freed up Microsoft Account

Hi there,

-

you can only remove an xbox live account from a Microsoft account, by moving the profile to a different Microsoft account.

So the way to go is:

1 download the profile that is currently on the Microsoft Account to a Microsoft console

2 wait 30 days (after a profile is downloaded it can only be moved to a different MS account after 30 days (this is a security measure.

3 Create a new Microsoft account (be sure not to use if on a windows phone, windows 8 pc, xbox console, or xbox.com)

4 Move the profile on the MS account to that newly created MS account

5 Now you should be able to move your 'old' profile to that just freed up Microsoft Account.

If you have any questions just let us know

You'll first need to move the new Xbox profile onto another email address (Microsoft Account or MSA) in order to free up the MSA. This will allow you to move the old Xbox profile onto your new MSA.

Xbox Profile must be linked to a Microsoft Account (LIVE Account). The only way to separate the two would be to move your profile to a different/new Microsoft Account.
