    Why does Microsoft make it impossible to change ownership of an Xbox account?


    My kids were too young to have their own accounts on the Xbox, now they are teenagers and have spent alot of money and earned a bunch of achievements, but Microsoft says I can't transfer the account to their email because it's tied to mine. Don't act like it's difficult to do, it's a single database update command. I don't want to create an alias on my account, they need their own accounts. This is just shady business by Microsoft trying to control who owns digital property.

    Why does Microsoft make it impossible to change ownership of an Xbox account?

    the Microsoft account is the Xbox account, nothing can be separated or transferred, Microsoft accounts can be made for children too, I made my kids their own accounts when they were 2, now they are 21. Also you don't own the digital property, you have a licence to use it.

    Why does Microsoft make it impossible to change ownership of an Xbox account?

    Hi JWW0719, my name is Jhon and it will be a pleasure to help you.

    There are several reasons why you might want to make this change, but unfortunately neither Microsoft officially supports transferring your account between different Microsoft accounts. That said, there is no direct or official way to transfer your account from one Microsoft account to another.

    But yes, you can move the Xbox profile and gamer tag to a new email. Your saved game progress and contacts will also be moved to the new email.

    To move your Xbox profile, follow these steps:

    -Sign in to your Microsoft account with your Hotmail email address.
    Go to your Microsoft account settings page.

    -In the "Contact Information" section, click "Change Primary Email Address."

    -Enter your new Outlook email address.

    -Click Next".

    -Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

    Once you've completed these steps, your child will be able to sign in to their Xbox profile using their new Outlook email address. Your saved game progress and contacts will be transferred automatically.

    Here are some tips for moving your Xbox profile:

    1. Make sure the new email address is set correctly.

    2. If your child has an Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass subscription, be sure to transfer it to their new email address.

    3. If your child has an Xbox gift card or discount code, be sure to redeem it before switching profiles.

    I hope you can understand it and this information has clarified at least some doubts. I hope the problem is solved, I wish you good luck.

    can I safely split and xbox live account from my pc account without messing up both?

    It is impossible to "split" an account as in give some games to a different account. Whichever account bought the games, has ownership of them.

    Hey there dk - unfortunately if you cannot prove ownership of the account, I'm afraid recovery will be impossible.
