  1. Signing in without losing local account


    I've been using Windows 10 for a few months now and I'm interested in using the Xbox App on the computer for my Xbox LIVE account. However, because I prefer using local accounts (been use to that all my life), I'm worried about losing that account as I log
    into my Xbox App with my Microsoft account. Is it possible to log into the Xbox App with my Microsoft account without having it replace my local computer account?

    :)

  2. Moved with Xbox from Canada to Ireland. Live hasn't changed.

    What it says in the title. I was expecting the Live page to change to the local one, Ireland or at least the UK. But it still has all the Canadian deals and is still showing Netflix. I even went into the settings and changed the Locale to Ireland and then
    tried changing it to the UK but nothing changed. How can i get it to change, without signing up for a new account and losing all my Gamerscore?

    Two consoles, one account

    I an not Xbox savvy. Can someone offer some insight? We have two Xbox consoles, one user account. The consoles cannot be played simultaneously without signing out an existing user. Can I create a secondary account without losing game content? Does anyone
    have suggestions? Xbox mom

    Signing in without losing local account

    Hi,

    To answer your query, you can use your local account to log in to your computer and sign in to the Xbox App using your Microsoft Account at the same time.

    To do that, follow the steps under "You signed in to Windows 10 using a local account" on this
    link.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Minecraft Launcher Microsoft login doesn´t work

    After clicking on Add button, Click Sign in without a Microsoft Account. If you do not see that option, disconnect from the Internet.

    You should create a local account, which is an account without a Microsoft Account linked to it.

    Why does Minecraft Bedrock on PC use your PC System Account to try to sign in and not the account that I am signed into on the Launcher, Xbox App, and Windows Store?

    Type netplwiz in the box, then click OK

    Select Add

    Select Sign in WITHOUT a Microsoft account

    Select Local account

    Enter a username, password, and password hint

    Click Next

    Click Finish

    Sign in using your Microsoft account on the Xbox App and Microsoft Store App.

    Then, try to download the game and see if that will fix the issue.

    Changing an account email.

    If I'm not mistaken, you can change the email associated with a Gamertag without losing anything.
