No longer have access to email address

Quick answer is Yes it will.

The only thing that it is doing is adding the new email to the account and making that email the email used to sign into the account. All purchases and everything go with the account itself.

Microsoft does this because they know people change emails and sometimes no longer have access to those email accounts like if they use the ISP for their email and no longer have that ISP they would no longer have access to that email address.

what if I know the Microsoft account email address, but the email address is no longer accessible. how would I recover anything?

Also, I am an XBox insider. I have tried to opt out, but they state that I used a previous email address, which no longer exist, That means they will reply to that address and I will have no way to access the Email address.

I appreciate the response, however, the challenge with that form is:

> Your Email Address*

> Please use the email address associated with your Minecraft account. This is the email address we will be writing to, so please make sure you provide us with an email address you have access to.

Ultimately, because I do not have access to the original email account any longer, I don't have reasonable avenues to recover my account. I am absolutely at fault for not having access to the email any longer, however, the forced migration and its failure doesn't rest on my shoulders. Just a poor customer experience is all.

I appreciate your time and effort, have a good day.
