    Using a existing Microsoft as a alias

    Hi Hugo. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. To use a Gmail account that's already associated with a Microsoft account, you would have to remove the email from the Microsoft account so it can be added to your other account.

    Note that Microsoft emails such as Outlook or Hotmail can't be changed to another account; removing them from a Microsoft account will permanently delete them.

    기본별칭을 hotmail.com 이메일로 변경 할 방법이 있나요? (Mod Translation: Is there a way to change my default alias to hotmail.com email?)

    Hello!

    Unfortunately a Microsoft Account can only have one primary account alias. Since Hotmail.com email addresses are already existing Microsoft Accounts they can not be used to replace existing alias'. You can create a new Outlook.com email to set as your primary
    alias.

    Hope this helps

    Moving email from unused account to main my main Xbox live

    Hello there!

    Unfortunately, the system will not be able to accept the e-mail address you want to add as an alias to your main account, because it is already associated with another gamer tag and it is already an existent Microsoft account. To add an e-mail as an alias, it needs to either be created on the spot on the alias option on your account, or it needs to be an existent e-mail that has never been used on Microsoft before.

    I can't add my new email as an alias

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

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello WithheldPillow, in order to add an Alias to your Microsoft account the email cannot be a Microsoft email that already exists, you have to create it on the spot in the Alias option.

    The system only accepts existing emails from other domains like Gmail, Yahoo etc.

    Add or remove an email alias in Outlook.com
