When I opened my Xbox Live account for the first time I could not see my existing Xbox One ...

Yes, I use my microsoft account to sign into my xbox live account. I also have the xbox app on windows 10, and am definitely logged into the same live account (although I cannot see my mother's account on the xbox app, while I can see it on the console).
If I go to settings, it shows my microsoft account.

The thing is, my microsoft account existed without being connected to a family before I created my xbox one live account. It seems that it was only linked to a family when I made my xbox live account, so it seems to be only tied to a family there.

Hi bigbenx88,

I remember that when playing Xbox 360, I must sign in first before I start my games! However, I could create an account which does not require internet and allows me to sign in offline, which only exist in the console I am using. But with Xbox One, I don't
know how to create that kind of profile that allows me to sign in without internet. I want to create an account that is not an online account, like Xbox Live account I am using on this forum, and allows me to sign in anytime I turn on the console offline!

And from what I read of your reply, I think you mean that I must first sign in my Xbox One online with my existing Xbox Live account before trying to play any game, and have the system to remember my account and passwords so that
next time when I turn on the console, I can just start playing games once I turn on my console offline. Is that correct? If that is, can you teach me how to do it so that my console remembers my account/passwords and I can sign in offline?



Thanks!!

I am not sure how it happened. I already had a Microsoft account. When I got my xbox I created an account and got a gamer tag while setting up my xbox. I signed up for xbox live from my xbox using my existing gamer tag and Microsoft account. I then went
to xbox live and signed in using my Miicrosoft account, and for some reason when I did this a new gamer tag was created and associate to my Microsoft account. So, now when I log into xbox live I see one gamer tag. But on my xbox I have a different gamer
tag.

Let me rephrase my question, the email linked to my xbox live account has been deleted, my new email is the one i want linked to my account, when i sign in to xbox live i see my non existing email address in the top right corner, all i want to do is change
the Email that is linked to my account. Is there any way i can do this without creating a new account???

I live in Macedonia. When I first setup my xbox (purchased new) more than a year ago it wasn't an option as a locale so I created a new profile in the UK locale - which I didn't know at the time would get my profile including the billing options to the United
Kingdom, making it impossible for me to purchase games or DLC.

Seeing that I could create an xbox live profile with Macedonia as a locale, I created a new Live ID and an xbox live profile (this one) which I can't download to my xbox. So this account matches my real country/region, my previous one didn't because I didn't
have an option.
