    Transferring an Xbox profile without closing the original email account


    My old Xbox live account is tied to my parents' (active) email address, and when you remove an account alias email it closes that email, which isn't what we want to do. Can the Xbox account and related content be transferred to my email while not affecting the email it's currently tied to?

    :)

    Transferring an Xbox profile without closing the original email account

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello TomB74, unfortunately it is not possible, your Xbox profile and your email (Microsfot account) are one thing only.

    If you use this email to play either on the console or on the PC, the Gamertag, games, DLC's etc are forever tied to that email account.

    The simplest thing in this situation, you would be with this email account for you, as your main game account, you can even add a new alias later and create a new email account for your parents to use.

    How can I do this "account swap" without losing stuff? Both accounts are mine, technically. I'd like help ASAP.

    Basically, you can't. The Xbox account and email (Microsoft account) are the same thing. There's no way to delete an Xbox account without closing the Microsoft account. There's no way to merge accounts and nothing can be transferred between accounts.

    Xbox Account Transfer

    Hi Alosun, It depends on what you're really trying to do.

    You can change the email address (which is your account ID) by creating a secondary email(account) alias, and then making that email your primary email. I've provided a couple links below. All subscriptions, services, gamer-tags, etc. will transfer with it.

    If you're trying to just transfer the XBOX gamer-tag (profile as Francia points out) by changing the account, that's not possible without everything from the original account moving to the new account as I mentioned above.

    I hope that helps

    Two gamertags on one email login?

    To remove two emails in the same Microsoft account by separating them, the steps are generally:

    Create a new Microsoft account with one of the email addresses you want to remove.

    Sign in to the original account and find the account settings.

    Find the option to add or remove email addresses and remove the email address you want to separate.

    Transfer any important content or information from the original account to the new account, if necessary.

    Close or delete the original account associated with the removed email address, if desired.

    It's important to note that these steps may vary depending on the version of Microsoft and the configuration of your account.
