Transfer XBox account originally set up as mom's email

Hello, TinaPerdue. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

So if I understood correctly, all your son's games, purchases and progress are under your account, right? Well, nothing can be transferred between accounts. Games, purchases and progress included.

The only way to make this work is by adding an alias email to your account (a second email address to it), and then making this second email address the primary email for your Microsoft Account (which will then be used by your son). Then, you can delete your current email address from the account and create another Microsoft account for you with the same email address.

But, there's an issue. You can't add to your Microsoft Account an alias email address that is linked to another Microsoft Account (your son's current email address). So you have only two options here:

1. You can create a new email address to be used as an alias to change your current Microsoft Account email address. But it needs to be created on the "Add an alias" page:

- Sign in to: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=529489
- Under the Account Aliases section, select Add Email.
- Choose Create a new email address and add it as an alias, and then follow the instructions.
- After you've added the email address, verify it by clicking on the link that you'll receive on your inbox.

2. You can delete the Microsoft Account that has the email that you want to use as an alias (your son's current email address). After you delete it, you'll need to wait 60 days for it to be removed from the Microsoft system and it'll be available to be used again. You'll need to create it on the "Create a new email address and add it as an alias" page.

Unfortunately, these are the only two options you have. I'm sorry about this.

If you have any question or doubt about it, please let me know.

You are welcome. Please try it when you have some time and let me know how it goes. And if you have any questions during the process, feel free to ask me!

I believe this might solve this issue. I will try it in a couple days when I have more time. Thanks for the quick response. I actually thought it would take a few days to get a response and thank you so much for taking the time. I will update upon trying this. Thanks again.

Hello,

I’m want to use my Xbox live account again, however, when I first set it up it was linked to my mom’s Microsoft account.

I want to transfer the Xbox account along with all the data, friends, and followers to my Microsoft account. But I also don’t want to mess with my mom’s Microsoft account and the data she has there.

So in the end I want the Xbox account to be linked to my email with my Microsoft data and my mom’s email and Microsoft data to no longer be associated with the Xbox account.

If you follow the advice Annanda Martins gave and delete your moms email as an alias it will permanenty delete her email forever.

Per https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...nt/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

Warning When removing an email alias that’s connected to a Microsoft domain (such as @Outlook.com, @Live.com, or @Hotmail.com), that email is completely deleted from our systems and can’t be used to send or receive emails. It won’t be available for use again as an alias on another account. Microsoft doesn’t recycle email addresses, so it can’t be reclaimed at a future time.

There unfortunately isnt any way to completely separate the email from the account without it affecting the Microsoft email. This is because the Microsoft account (Microsoft email) IS the Xbox account. They are both one in the same.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Sadly I wish I could simply just change the email however I can't because my mom is still using and needed her Microsoft account and email. And I do not wish to transfer the data form the Xbox live profile to new profile I wish to transfer the actual Xbox
Live profile to a new Microsoft account.
