    Multiple Microsoft accounts


    Hi.

    I have two Microsoft accounts and an having trouble using both effectively with Windows and xbox (pc).

    My older account is the one i used for xbox live many moons ago.

    My newer account is the one i have used to log into my PC ever since we were forced to link email addresses to log into Windows.

    The problem i have is that, i have purchased things on the windows store with my newer account (e.g. atmos for headphones) but i also use the xbox app with my older account for game pass etc.

    Currently of course my older account is signed into Microsoft store but this means that i am unable to access or use my purchases from my main Microsoft account (e.g. the wonderful sounds of atmos)

    Is there no remediation for this situation? I've done a fair amount of googling and not found anything useful.

    :)

    Hello, how are you? Hope you're well. My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.


    First, welcome to the Xbox community. I believe you would have no problem with this as you are purchasing game licenses on different accounts and also on multiple computers.

    According to Mojang, there is no problem doing this, you may be checking this official information through the articles below.

    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

    - As you can see, it is even allowed to use multiple accounts on the same PC.

    - In case the above articles mention permission for personal use, however, since your case is commercial you may need some kind of permission from Microsoft or Mojang. I suggest you confirm this directly with them by contacting them via the link below.

    *Thank you in advance for contacting the community, I hope this can help you. Let me know if you have more questions, please.

    It's always a pleasure to be able to help, as I said I suggest you try contacting Mojang support to confirm this with them and see if you would have any problems and if you would need a commercial license.

    You are always welcome to the community.

    Yes, exactly. My subject is about, piracy, cheating, and illegal commercial use of software in esport and gaming. I tried asking gaming cafes owners about how they managed that but they refuse to answer what makes it even more interesting. Thanks for the reply.

    Multiple microsoft account to merge

    Hi,

    I've got Minecraft few years ago with one of my E-mail account (french mail 'wanadoo').

    This E-mail is now unactive and I would like to switch my minecraft account to an other e-mail (outlook mail now) which I used.

    I don't know how to do this as I have 2 Microsoft account. So the question is :

    - How do I transfer my Minecraft account to my new E-mail account ?

    I can't find any ways to do this, as my Microsoft account can't be linked.

    I've still got all the information about my payment with Mojang in 2020, btw maybe it exists a way that I can close my older Microsoft account, and then reopen my minecraft right with my new one ? I don't know, and I have no clue...

    Thank you in advance for your reply...

    Chris
    Nothing is transferable or able to be merged between accounts.
