transfer account to son's email

Hello Joey Norman,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community. Just a reminder, we are not able to manually transfer one email to another email here on community. However, we can try to guide you on how you can do it on your end. If we won't be able to transfer your son's email, I would need you to contact our dedicated Xbox Live support so that they can help you transfer emails or escalate the case to our higher dedicated team if necessary.

Yes, you can transfer your son's Xbox account to a new email address and remove your email address from the account. To do this, you will need to follow these steps:



1. Sign in to your son's Xbox account using your email address and password.

2. Go to the "Settings" menu and select "Account."

3. Select "Sign-in, security & passkey."

4. Select "Change email address."

5. Follow the prompts to add your son's new email address and make it the primary email address for the account.

6. Once the new email address is added, you can remove your email address from the account by selecting "Remove" next to your email address.

7. Your son's gaming data and progress will remain intact, and he will be able to continue using his account with his new email address.



After removing your email address from your son's account, you can create a new Xbox account using your original email address. However, please note that any gaming data or progress associated with your son's account will not be transferred to your new account.

Hope I helped! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further concerns. I will be waiting for you and I would be more than glad to assist you further.

Does my son's gamer tag stay on my account?

can I transfer the gamer tag to his own email?

Is your son using your own (adult) account?

If so, do yourself a favor and create a separate account for your son with his own email.

There are so many parents in this forum, where the son went on a shopping spree with the unrestricted parent account, or where the parents later reconsider giving their kid access to their own email, and then all game progress can't be transferred over to
the new account of the kid.

The earlier your son has their own account, the better.

Hi, around 2011 I purchased Minecraft Java for my son using my own email (this Microsoft account). So naturally when we migrated the Mojang account it got migrated to my personal Microsoft account. Now my son is an adult, and due to safety and privacy reasons we would like to transfer the Minecraft user to my sons own Microsoft account, and was wondering if that was possible?

Unfortunately nothing is transferable between accounts.

Hi,

My son has historically used my xbox account to sign into games and link with friends. However, I've recently separated from my sons mum and its proving problematic for son to use / sign into my account to play games etc.

Is there any way of transferring his games, progress and conneections onto his own email/xbox account?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Games can not be transferred account to account
