Question about what happens if I change my email

tdrWhitefang · Feb 8, 2014

I am planning to change my email using the Xbox 360 and if I do change it will I just be prompted on the Xbox One to enter my new email or will I have to re-download my profile to the Xbox One.

me or should an alias change be made? or is it a way to curb the problem?

What will happen if I...

It's difficult to say what the PET would do or how they might see if it's offensive or not. But I agree, if you have to ask...

No. I had change my password due to my facebook account. They both used the same email address but not same password.

The email I am talking about is the one used to download your account, I just want to know how will it affect my account on the Xbox one if I change the email on xbox 360. I know if you change the password it asks you to enter the new one when you sign in
to the xbox one.

You asked a different question related to this in the Xbox 360 section. But I think you've seen my reply there anyway.

I think what will happen is next you try to log in to your profile, it will ask you to sign in again, but obviously you'll need to use the new email address. It might not even need to download, just get the correct details in place, like when you changed
your password.

To confirm: you're wanting to change the email address (Microsoft Account) associated with your Xbox Live profile?

In which case, everything remains associated with the Xbox Live profile (purchases, gamerscore, game history, friends, current subscriptions and so on), it's just the underlying MSA (Microsoft Account, the email address) which gets changed.

However, the funds remain on the old MSA so do not get transferred to your new one, so this will no longer be associated with your Xbox Live profile. The funds should remain accessible on the current/old MSA, but do no transfer across along with the Xbox
Live profile.

Let us know how you get on and/or you have any further questions.
