First time use/setup

Hi. I've bought a day one edition for my boys a surprise for Xmas but not had a chance to test it yet. Because one of my lads already has a 360 in his room with his own gold account, I am going to set up the xbox One with his as the primary account fir the gold access as that way we can use the same gold account on his 360 and the shared Xbox one.

However, if I set the Xbox one up late one night presumably I will have to add the primary/gold account that it will use (I.e my son's) as part of the initial set up . Then I'll try it with one of the games. So by doing this, when he next uses his 360 will he see that his account had been used on an Xbox one? Obviously I don't want him to suspect there is an Xbox one in the house!!!

Cheers!

Yes it's possible. It just takes longer for the console to recognize the gold when it's redeemed on the website instead of the console. To speed up the process try testing your connection on the console.

You make the account with gold the other person home with the Xbox with no gold on it

Account with gold add it to xbox without a gold account make gold account home on that xbox pretty much it they get games and gold on both accounts afterwards

Hello,

To ensure that all accounts on the Xbox are able to access Gold, please ensure that your account associated with the Xbox Live Gold membership is the account that has the xbox set to "My home xbox", this will then have it set as gold for the entire xbox.
If another account is set as the home xbox, it will require the account with gold to be signed in for others to access the gold subscription.

Make sure the profile that has a Gold subscription is playing on the Xbox that is not marked as home. The non-Gold account can then use the xbox marked as the home account. Both accounts need to be xbox live accounts with email addresses but only one needs
a gold subscription.

Also make sure you are signed into the Gold account when marking the home xbox. Xbox live accounts are free.

The Xbox Gold Membership can only be associated with one xbox at a time. However you can still transfer gold between one xbox to another.

There is somewhat of a workaround but only between two xbox. If you have a gold account as the main (home) account anyone who uses the xbox will have access to gold. Then you can use this account on a different xbox but only the one account will have gold.
