Removing my parents email from my xbox

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this HOGSQUEAL24

The only way to do that is deleting your dad's email as an alias.
But the thing with is that his outlook emails are going to be deleted permanently with the address as well

You can check more about aliases here:

PS: any content transfer between Microsoft accounts can't be made

...My son has an email that is already linked as my "child" if I remove that and change the account to his email as the primary alias and then remove mine, will I then be able to add him back to my Microsoft account as my child, now with my old gamertag
as his (so he can keep all his stats and such)?

As I described above, be aware that if you remove a sign in alias from a Microsoft Account, that Microsoft Account gets DELETED!

If your "parent" email is a Gmail or Yahoo or other third party email, that's not a problem, as the Microsoft Account "only" is a username that looks like an email. And if you didn't use any other Microsoft services like OneDrive and the likes, the account
deletion is not a problem.

However, if your parent Microsoft Account is a Microsoft service email like "live.com", "outlook.com", "Hotmail.com" or the country equivalents like "Hotmail.co.uk" or something, then be aware that removing that Microsoft Account from your son's account
will delete everything from that account, and you'll basically creating a new and empty parent account!

Online in your Xbox Account settings you'll be able to change your email in there! Just remove your parents (That won't delete their email, just remove it from your Account) and Add the email you wish to use.

Hello Rhonda,

If you do not use the email to sign in on anything like your PC phone etc. You can switch emails on the account to one of his. I will provide the steps to do so.

1. Add your child email and verify it.
2. Once it is verified you can make it primary.
3. This will move your email to secondary, VERY Important: DO NOT REMOVE THE EMAIL FROM THE ACCOUNT TOTALLY. This will delete the email entirely if removed from the account.
4. If you do use the email for anything like your PC or phone sign in, you will not be able to do this.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Brad,

I am a little confused. The email that I want to separate from my son's Xbox account is my main and only email, that I use on my own PC, phone, Facebook, Instagram. Am I missing something here? Please advise.

Thank you,

Rhonda Sparks

Hello Rhonda,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. Unfortunately, there is no way to transfer an Xbox account to a different Microsoft account. Once that Xbox account is created, it is tied to that Microsoft account for good.

There is one scenario where you may be able to get the outcome you are looking for. Both of these need to be correct :

1. You do not use this Microsoft account for anything else, including signing into windows.

2. Your well established email is not a Microsoft domain (Outlook, Hotmail, Live, MSN)

Is this the case for you?
