New profile on same Xbox account?

Hello.

I'm trying to sign out of a Microsoft account and use a new one for my xbox account. However, I don't know where to start and I've heard that you really can't due to them being linked.

What can I do?

Your XBOX profile is actually part of your Microsoft account and I am afraid there is no way to separate them, in the same way you could would not be able to separate a Gmail account from the Google account it is associated with.

There is no way to change which XBOX profile is associated with a Microsoft account, I am afraid. Your only option is to create a new XBOX profile using a different email address, and that will have its own associated Microsoft account (or create a new Microsoft account using a new email address and then create a new XBOX profile using the same email address).

If you ensure that both the original and the new XBOX profiles are on your XBOX and that both are signed in at the same time whenever you use it, you will be able to play as your new XBOX profile whilst still having access to all the games purchased on your old profile.

Yes, any purchases made are connected to your account.

New console, new drive etc doesnt matter as long as its the same Xbox account/profile.

Log into your old profile.

Press the guide button.

Go to "profile" and to "Sing- In preferences"

Then turn off the Profile Auto Sing-In.

You can do the same with your new account and turn the Auto Sign-In on.

Then your new account should be the profile that logs in when you turn on your Xbox.

Hi Carrie. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

To create an Xbox profile you need a Microsoft account. When you create a new Xbox profile on a new account you are creating a Microsoft account, not an Xbox account.

The login details for the Xbox profile are the same as the Microsoft account, so then it asks to sign in with his MS account you can use the details he entered when creating his Xbox profile.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

So basically you are wanting to start over with a new gamertag/xbox profile on the same Microsoft Account.

Are you wanting to do this so that you can start over on achievements in games or what?

There is no way to transfer your current gamertag/xbox profile to an old MS account.

You can create a new account and set your console as your current profiles Home console that way you can play the games that the original account owns on the new account and start over that way.
