    Two live accounts on one pc


    I have a pc which i share with my son and we both have gamepass ultimate. When downloading games it wants to create dual downloads of every game unlike steam which allows us both to play the same games from a single download folder. In xbox beta i can
    only select the download drive and not a specific folder. Is there a way to link both accounts to single files to save us filling the hard drive with double game downloads?

    :)

    Two live accounts on one pc

    Hi Spook,

    Thanks for coming to the forums. When you try the game on a different profile if it is yours or your sons. Make sure to log out completely. Sign out companion and Xbox beta app. You shouldn't have to download the games twice as you both have the Ultimate
    subscription.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Two live accounts on one pc

    Each user is logging in as themselves so you are treated as separate accounts. This is pretty standard for computer accounts. By default you do not want your son accessing your files nor you his so they are stored completely separately. i do not see any
    way around this as its more of a computer account issues and not the software.

    Each user on a PC has their own unique directories for things like documents, pictures etc. this includes the games installed via gamepass ultimate.

    combining Windows-Live to a Xbox Profile (going to get Xbox-Live)

    No, sorry. It is not possible to merge two profiles/accounts together.



    You can recover the account you use on your PC to your console or you can make the offline profile on your console into an online (Live) one, but you can't merge the two.

    Playonline id/password error

    your playonline id is tied to your gamertag/console.

    are you talking about one account,with two toons on it?playing one on the 360 and another on the pc?

    or two seperate accounts,with you switching between the two on the 360?

    Change my xbox live email to my microsoft account email

    Sound like you are using two Microsoft accounts (one for the PC and for the console).

    Sorry... the answer to your question is that you cannot merge two accounts. You will have to use both your PC and console as they are, or if you do want to only use one account, I would drop the PC account and just add the other email address as an alias
    to the Hotmail account. But you will loose the items you purchased on the PC.

    Hope that helps.
