  1. Switching Microsoft primary account to a newly created account


    Hi All

    More of an account question this one.

    I have my son using my primary account on his Xbox One X, with all my card details and more, held under the same account.

    He is a good boy, and nothing has happened at all, but now I want to get him on his own account, so I can use restrictions and set up his account for Teams remote learning from school.

    My son complains he would lose all his historical Fortnite skins if this was done, as all his Fortnite skins are linked to my account. Fair Point, he has worked hard over the last two years to build them up.

    I have enquired previous about transferring his Fortnite skins to another (new) account, but Microsoft say this is not possible.

    So......

    Can I make myself a new Microsoft account, with email, and make this new account my main primary account. Then get all my card details and more, to my primary new account, whist maintaining the old account which would be relegated to a secondary account?

    Hmmmmmm

    :)

    Move XBOX Live Account from one email address to another

    Hi there, the link to the error code seems dead. However looking at other forums seems to suggest the following:

    1. Create a new Microsoft account (account#3).

    2. Logon to the XBOX as the primary account (account#1). Switch the profile to the newly created account#3 from my primary account (account#1)

    3. Logon to the XBOX as account#2 and switch this profile to my primary Microsoft account (account#1).

    I'm I in the right park here? Also forums seem to suggest that you have to wait 30 days to be allowed to switch accounts, is this the case?

    Thanks,

    Ian.

    Play same game on both of my XBOX ones at the same time

    At the same time, you can not play the same account on two consoles.
    Create another account and share your primary account with the newly created account.

    Change the e-mail i use to log-in my Xbox Live Gamertag

    As noted by XBF Ezra G above then, you'd need to create a new account to avoid this problem then. If the email used by the account currently is a Microsoft account, then it cannot be switched without altering the primary use of the email.

    Forced to create another xbox account on an email that already has one, and now i can't log in to xbox app.

    Wouldn't this just recover the newly created Microsoft account?
