  1. Moving XBXO LIve Gold account from work email to existing Micorsft account


    Hi

    I have XBOX Live account (Gold) registered with my work email address but I wan to move it to an existing outlook.com address that I have so I keep track of all MS services under one account. I thought just adding this existing outlook.com address as an
    alias and then deleting the work email address would work but it tells me this account is already used.

    Is it possible to move existing XBXO Live account to an existing Micros0ft Account?

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Link my Xbox profile to another pre-existing Microsoft account

    Since it is already a Microsoft account there is no way to add that email to the other account.

    There is no way to move an Xbox profile from one Microsoft account to another.

    There is no way to move an already existing Microsoft server/account email (outlook, Hotmail, live, MSN.com) to another Microsoft account.

    If you are not wanting to use the email that is currently attached to your Xbox profile you are unfortunately going to have to create a new email address.

    How do I delete my X-box live account?

    Hey there TomfoolExpert!

    You can't completely delete an Xbox Live profile from existence. But if you'd like to move the Gamertag to a different email, you definitely can. Here's a guide on how to do that:

    support.xbox.com/.../change-xbox-live-account-info
    .

    If you switch the account to a different email, that will get it off of your brother's email and free that up to make another account, if you wish. ^_^

    XBox Beta App keeps trying to force me to create an account.

    Hi,

    I gave in and created an xbox live account with my work email, after doing this I was able to sign out, sign back in and then opt to switch accounts to my already existing live account. I feel like there should have been an option to sign in with an existing
    account from word go, but it's sorted now.

    Thank you for your help!

    Gamertags/xbox profiles can NOT be moved between microsoft accounts. Even if you change the email (as seen

    here
    ) it will still log you into the same microsoft account, but with just a different email. You can only change TO an email that is NOT Hotmail, Live or Outlook.

    The only way to fix this is to have your son create a new account. You can set your account as the

    My home xbox
    account and on that console he can share your games and gold.
    If I associate a new email address with my Microsoft account and then remove my existing email from this account, couldn't I then create a new Microsoft account with my previous email address? This way my son could continue with the same Microsoft account/Xbox
    subscription under his new email address. He would then retain all the benefits of his existing gamer profile which he has gained over the past 8 years.

    You could do that and create a new microsoft account and xbox account with that email but he will start fresh with 0 everything and no subscription.

    The gamertag and all purchases, subscriptions and gamerpoints and save game progress will stay with the microsoft account that it's on and there's no way to move that to another microsoft account no matter what you do: may that be email moving or anything.

    Sorry.

    Can't add family members to my Family Pack in the Settings/Family menu

    Add or Remove Xbox Live Gold Family Pack Members.

    Maybe you will see something in the link to help you.

    Here are just a few notes from that link;

    Notes

    • Only the primary account can add a member (secondary account) to a Gold Family Pack. If you’re adding an existing account, you’ll need the Microsoft account and password of the account that you’re adding.
    • If the account that you want to add to your Family Pack is not stored on your console, you’ll need to download the Xbox LIVE gamertag.
    • Existing Xbox LIVE accounts keep all Microsoft Points and gamerscores when you add them to the Gold Family Pack.

      After these notes there is a step-by-step guide.

      Let us know if it works out for you.
