    Will account swap be made possible again anytime soon?


    Hi.

    I have today....

    'ProfileA' with 'GamertagA' under which I have all my achievements and saved games.

    'ProfileB' with 'GamertagB' which I created to try out xbox live. I connected this profile to my main e-mail account *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***'.

    Now I would like 'ProfileA' and 'GamertagA' to be associated with the xbob live account with the address *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***'. I am fine with losing any saved games and achievments on 'profileB', but want to keep the saved games and achievemtns on 'profileA'.

    Xbox doesn't let me join xbox live with ProfileA and *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***', it says that account is in already in use. It seems that it has previously been possible to change the xbox live account associated with ProfileB (thereby freeing up *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***'), but now
    I am directed to 'xbox.com/AccountSwap' which tells me that option is no longer available.

    As it seems now, I have to

    1. create a temporary email adress *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***', with also creates a new microsoft account.

    2. change the e-mail associated to my old microsoft account to *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***', thereby freeing up *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***' for making a new microsoft account and a new xbox profile.

    3. Log into xbox as ProfileA, and "join xbox live", entering *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***', which should now be available. a new microsoft account and xbox live account are now created.

    4. (optional) delete my old microsoft account, which is now associated with *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***'. This also deletes 'ProfileB'

    5. ProfileA is now connected to xbox live using *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***'.

    This is messy and will also delete everything else from my old microsoft account, except the e-mail adress.

    My questions are:

    Is my above procedure the correct one?

    Will it be made possible anytime soon to again change xbox live account for a certain profile?

    :)

    Buy it or don't buy it

    There always is the possibility that if enough people wish it to be gone, they will remove it. But I can't see that happening anytime soon, or ever.

    Is an account swap with a new account possible?

    Unfortunately no. Nothing can be transferred between accounts.

    Hello sorry to sawy you cant swap accounts. He will be able to share games and some DLC if you have the console set as Home XBox. They wont share the achievements he has won though.

    Getting a old Xbox account back

    Unfortunately, many of those original GTs are and will remain unavailable. There is no process for having those GTs made available, nor is there any official word on whether or not they may become available again anytime soon. If you're unable to choose
    that as a GT, I'm afraid you'll have to settle on something else.
