    Second Xbox One console advice/guidance


    We currently have one console on which all accounts designate as their primary. I purchased an X1 for my son and will be setting that console up as everyone's primary. This way they can still play games on my account, use XBL Gold, etc. The other console
    will only be signed into by me.

    I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. I can use the old console when signed in as myself and access all of my games, XBL Gold, etc. I'll have to enter my password each time. Otherwise it will automatically designate it as my primary, correct?
    That's how I understood this article anyway. If I save my password for login it will automatically set it as my primary, which I do not want.

    It will only set the console as your primary console if you change your Home setting. Saving it so you login automatically does not designate a console as your primary console.

    Thanks. The way that article reads it sounds like just signing into a console will try to make it your primary. Just wanted to make sure that wasn't the case.

    Hi there, as Smwutches said the Xbox will only change if you request the console to be your "Home" Xbox either during setup or via the settings menu. I would suggest making the most played Xbox in your home the "Home" Xbox for game Sharing purposes. The
    secondary console you'll still be able to log in to and play your games, it's just that others will not be able to use your purchased content or Gold.
