Possible to change Microsoft Account associated with gamertag?

I have another gamertag besides the one associated with this account that has all of the rights for my downloaded games but I have another family member who uses the email address associated with that Microsoft account and gamertag. We both want the xbox
live account and gamertag moved to this account for the sake of simplicity moving forward. This is not a question of changing the email address of the current tag in question, but the MS account of that tag. I'm amazed there's no obvious way of doing this
(if any) already, and I would greatly appreciate some help doing this.

Switching an email on an account to another email

Hi!

Yes, It is possible.

You will have to change the Email address associated with your brother's profile.

To do that please visit https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-accou... and follow
the instructions.

 

Adding/Changing an email to an existing Gamertag

Hey dR3K0b!

Gamertags are tied to a Microsoft account, so changing the email address associated with the Microsoft account will also change the email address associated with that gamertag. There's a guide on

how to change the email address associated with your Microsoft account that can help walk you through that process.

 

The only thing that can be done is changing the email address that is associated with you family member to one that you use.

Since the email that you currently have and are wanting to put onto your family members account is already a MS account (if it is a MS server email outlook.com, Hotmail.com, msn.com, live.com) you would not be able to move this current email.

If your family members email is a MS server email and you add an alias to his account and remove his email from that account that MS server email will be gone forever.

Let me see if I can explain it a little better.

Each Xbox profile is associated with ONE MS account once it is put onto that account it can not be changed. Hence NO profiles can be moved between MS Accounts.

The ONLY thing that can be changed is what email address is used to sign into that account/profile.

 

Ethan,

Here is a possible solution to your inquiry. You can add he email as an alias. The steps to do this can be found at How to Change Microsoft Account Email Address.
