Two different accounts

SledgeFist · Sep 29, 2016

Hello, I have one account for Xbox Live and another for my Windows 10 Desktop. Is there any way to combine these accounts? On windows 10 I can sign in to the xbox app with my Live account but the Windows Store app uses the Windows 10 account. The issue
is that the Xbox Anywhere games won't be available on Windows if I purchase on my Xbox One since the accounts are different.

There has to be a way to merge the accounts, right?

:)

Uploading profile?

Neko, what do you mean by the "the two are different" statement? Are you using two different accounts, two different consoles, or something else? If you could elaborate, this info may help us figure out a solution.

There is no way to merge accounts.

What you can do is sign into the Windows Store with your Xbox account and that might work, but it's better to use the Xbox account to also sign into Windows and you can play your games on that profile.

Thanks maxen. I for some reason didn't see how to sign in with another account in the Windows Store before I posted this. I have done that and it worked!

Thanks!

Also, it's pretty lame not being able to merge accounts.

Hello Brendon, try to log in again with your account, sometimes the code you see after the # is a code for the system, locate it easier, sometimes it appears and sometimes it does not, but while you can enter your account it does not mean that have two,
son the same. Greetings and stay safe.

Hi BrendonStreeter, did u correctly sign in with your real account ? Have u try to disconnect and sign in again ? You said :

"the tag # at the end of the name is different to my xbox name tag"

You mean a "different" tag or just a tag. On some screens, i believe the tag don't exist on Xbox, just on app or on PC but i'm not sure.

Have a nice day and stay safe.

Hi Keegan, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

There is a fix for this.

What you should do is ask the account owner that has an Xbox Live Gold subscription if he/she can set his/her account as home Xbox on the console that you're using in your room, in that way you can use the account owner's subscription through game sharing. Now with the old Xbox which is in the family room, what will happen is that the account that has an Xbox Live Gold will be the only account that can have the Xbox Live Gold subscription because his/her subscription is now being shared on your new Xbox console.

If there are multiple people that are using the Xbox in the family room, I would highly recommend leaving it as it is and you may need to consider purchasing an Xbox Live Gold subscription on your account.

By the way, with Home Xbox sharing, you can check this link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...
