Signing into Xbox account and changing email address

Hi there,

the only thing you can change is the email address used to sign into a Microsoft Account (Xbox Live Account), this will only change the email address used to sign into the account. (It doesn't transfer the full Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft
Account)

The steps to change the email address can be found here:

Changing gamertags, will only result in a different gamertag, it does not change the account or take any save game progress with it.

Is the change sign-ing email address option what you seek or do you want to achieve something else?

To change the email address on an Xbox profile, you will have to change the email address on the Microsoft account (which is associated with the Xbox profile).

Is your Xbox account linked to your father's email address? You might want to consider changing the email address to your own email and keep the same account

Hi there,

you can't merge accounts itself or fully move the Xbox Live Account to a different Microsoft Account, but something that could work for you is changing the primary email address for the Microsoft Account.

My assumption what steps might be required are:

- Change the primary email on the New Unused Xbox Account account to something else (you might need a new MS account/email for that) so that the Wanted email address is no longer attached to a Microsoft Account.

- Change the primary email on the Old Xbox account to the new wanted email address, so that that Wanted email address can be used to sign in to the Xbox main account.

Hello Joshua C, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

To do what you request, I recommend following these steps:

1. Sign out of the Xbox account: Go to your Xbox console or the Xbox app and sign out of the Xbox account that is currently associated with the other person's email. This will ensure that you're not making any changes while signed in to their account.

2. Create a new email address: Set up a new email address that you want to use for your Xbox account. You can create a new email account with popular providers such as Outlook, Gmail, or Yahoo Mail. Make sure to choose an email address that is not already associated with an existing Xbox account.

3. Change the email associated with your Xbox account: Visit the Xbox website, www.xbox.com and sign in with the Xbox account that is currently linked to the other person's email. Once signed in, go to your account settings or profile settings and look for the option to change the email address. Follow the provided instructions to update the email address to your new one.

4. Verify the new email address: After changing the email address, you may need to verify the new email address. This typically involves receiving a verification code or link to the new email address and following the instructions provided to confirm the change.

By following these steps, you should be able to change the email associated with your Xbox account to your own without affecting the other person's email in any way. However, it's important to note that you should always ensure you have proper authorization to use and modify any accounts or personal information.

Best regards.
