    Switching to new account. Will I keep my games?


    hey I have a question

    I first signed into xbox one as a family member and made it a child. With it I've played all my games on. But now I have my own account, which is an adult account and have added as family to the other account. Now with my own account I want to delete the
    child account I was originally playing all my games on and play on my own account. If I do this, will I keep my games and DLC's the I have bought online? I don't care about the saves as long as I have the games that I've bought.

    :)

    Accounts keep switching

    I have 2 accounts set up on my Xbox One, my main account and my secondary that is added to the family. My secondary account doesn't have kinect sign in turned on as they are both me but when I'm on my main account and go back to the home screen sometimes
    it switched to my secondary account and I have to manually switch back over to the main one.

    Hopefully I wrote that well enough to be understood. Any help or suggestions?

    the games if bought with the child account, stay with the child account, this should have been upgraded to an adult account if your the right age and you could have changed the gamertag then you would not have to start all over again. but your purchases
    will be on your original account permanently.

    You will need to keep the account that bought the games on your console if you want to play them on another account.

    Be aware that not all the dlc may work on your new account.

    if I make a new Microsoft account then switch that Microsoft account will I keep my games or not

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there.

    I'm Wille, an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    There is no possibility of transferring a game to another account, access is unique and exclusive to that account.

    Now, some users often create an alias within their Microsoft account. Alias has the same features and signatures added to the account as it only changes how you log in, however it is the same account.

    There is more information in the link below:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-...

    If you think about making this alias the default, and removing the old one. Be careful because:

    - If you remove an alias that's an email address from a Microsoft domain (like @hotmail.com, @live.com, @outlook.com, or @msn.com), you're permanently deleting the alias and it can't be associated with any Microsoft account again.

    - If you're removing a primary alias, you'll need to choose another primary alias before it can be removed.

    - If you remove an email address from a non-Microsoft domain (like @gmail.com), then it usually becomes immediately available to be added as an alias on another Microsoft account.

    I hope these information helps somehow. Feel free to let us know if you have further questions or concerns and we will try with our knowledge to offer assistance.

    Hugs! :)

    Game pass game starts up but nothing comes up on screen.

    the game loads but on my old monitor i can't switch it to my new one like you can on steam. i tried unplugging it to see if it would switch since it wouldn't detect the monitor but it keeps loading the game on the old monitor position.

    I would like to change the spelling of my GamerTag

    Well, you just made a little mistake in it. Setting up a new account with the correct email address was not meant to be set up as a new gaming account on your Xbox, but as a new account on live.com because then it has no gamertag associated.

    Take this guide here and do it again. In the guide is also explained how to unbound the unwanted gamertag from your live account. Just keep in mind that "create a new account" is not meant as "create a new Xbox profile" but as create a new account on www.live.com
