New account replaced old account upon sign in

Harvieb7 · Apr 17, 2017

Hi. I recently tried signing into my Xbox account I haven't been on for a few years, but when signing in it created this account (the one I'm posting this from), does anyone have an idea on how to get my old account back?

How would I go about setting up a us account, then downloading and playing on my normal uk account?Click to expand...
Click to expand...

Just do these steps:

1: Google Delaware addresses and grab one.
2: create a new xbox live account on xbox.com (make sure its the US site)
3: Add the new address when finishing the setup of the account in the billing section.
4: Add PayPal as your billing method
5: Buy a game from the marketplace, this is again on the website making sure its the US region **make a note of your new gamertag or change it (free 1st time)**
6: Sign into your xbox one with this new account and download game from the store.
7: Done!! You can now either keep signed in on your new profile or sign back your main account and play the game once ready.

No, it's like, the old account got completely replaced by this one, it's the right info, when i sign in outlook i see all the old confirmation codes and stuff that i received for that account, but when i sign in that account on xbox, it's a whole new account.

Hey there JacybPorter,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forums, when you update the primary email address (alias) to a Microsoft account you are simply replacing the old one. Unfortunately there is no way to actually move the Xbox profile to a new Microsoft account.

Just be aware that replacing the alias will delete the old one and replace it with the new one, in other words if replaced it will delete your dads alias and replace it with the new one.

You can find more information by following the link below:

I hope this helps.

Yes, it's possible to transfer your old gamer tag onto your console after starting a new account. Here are the steps:

1. Sign in to your new account on your Xbox console.
2. Go to 'Settings' and select 'Accounts'.
3. Select 'Remove Account'
4. Highlight the new gamertag that you want to replace and press 'A'.
5. Select 'Delete' and confirm the action.
6. Press the Xbox button on your controller to go back to the dashboard.
7. Select 'Sign in' and enter your old gamertag email address and password.
8. Follow any prompts to complete the sign-in process.

Your old gamer tag should now be associated with your Xbox account again. Keep in mind that any saved game data, achievements, and friends lists from the new account will not transfer over to the old account.

Then, maybe the old one got replaced with the new account.
