New Profile w/ Old Account

ColorfulDrake79 · Jan 7, 2018

My Xbox 360 profile was deleted off the hard drive, so I made a new profile. How do I link this to my existing Xbox Live account. When I enter my email and password, it tells me that this account is already linked to an existing profile...but that profile
was deleted off the hard drive.

Can't download crysis 2

> Can't we transfer all our games and arcades games to our new profile?

No. However, if your old & new profiles are on the same xbox, you can sign in w/ yr new proifle to use games & arcade games, from the old profile.

> So can we transfer all the achievements to our new profile?

No.

Unable to play my W@W DLC on a diff acc [READ PLEASE]

Okay, so I just got a new(used) xbox two days ago, and recovered my old account from an older XBOX. Now sadly it didn't have live, and I had no mor emoney so I made a new account, and have been playing W@W. When I got bored, I decided to go on my recovered
account, and license Transfer all the old stuff to it. Once I did that I downloaded Map Pack 2 and 3 for W@W, when I go to my new account, and hit zombies it says I don't have those two map packs.

Any suggestions?

You need to download the account to the console - Add or Remove Xbox Profile on an Xbox 360 Console

This is more of an account management issue, but I will try to provide a clear answer.

The profile he created on the console may be an offline profile. If he did not enter a Microsoft account and password, then it is definitely an offline profile. You can change an offline profile into a Xbox Live profile by doing the following :

Turn your offline profile into a gamertag

1.Sign in to the profile that you want to convert from an offline profile to a gamertag.

2.Go to Settings, then select Profile.

3.Select Join Xbox Live.

4.Enter your first name.

5.Enter your Microsoft account.

6.Enter your Microsoft account password.

7.Verify the information on the screen.

8.Verify the current privacy settings.

9.Review the Terms of Use.

Since you have created a Xbox Live account, if you have already put a subscription/Xbox Live membership on it, I would recommend your son using that account instead. Because he only started playing recently, there shouldn't be to many saved data on his offline
profile so starting new shouldn't be to bad. If he wants to use the offline profile he had created on the Xbox, you would have to register that profile under another separate Microsoft account and getting another subscription/Xbox Live membership.

I hope that answers your question, Happy New Years!

I also forgot to mention that when you create an Xbox Live profile, you get one free gamertag change. So you can change the auto generated one provided to you, to the one your son wants to use provided that it isn't already taken.

Are you trying to use your old profile with your old Microsoft account, or are you trying to use your old profile with your new Microsoft account?
