iamtheoneuwant · Aug 24, 2018

Hello,

For whatever reason I have two linked xbox accounts. My original gamertag of ; which I don't use anymore. is associated with my current e-mail address. My current gamertag of is associated with a secondary e-mail address that
I don't really use. Is there a way I can switch, so that my current gamertag of is associated with my current e-mail, so I can 2FA with xbox and other games?

Thanks!

Sean

You would be able to switch them around, but you would need a 3rd email to do this.

This would be used a a holding email whilst you swap them around....

You should be able to then add the email as an alias and then make that the default email.

Or you could contact accounts directly and see if they can help you directly with this..

Yes, you should be able to do that via your Microsoft Account management page.

This support article here has all the details on

switching the primary email of your Microsoft Account.

It would basically be adding the account to your Microsoft Account as an Alias, and promoting it to the primary account, then removing the other email address. I would recommend following the steps very closely so as not to get anything jumbled.

Let us know if you have any problems during that process and we'll see if we can troubleshoot, or have to direct you to Official Support at support.xbox.com/Contact-Us

Microsoft accounts (regardless of the email host you use) are what are used to log into an Xbox account.

If your Xbox Account is an offline account (which on the 360 the ability to create a local account was possible), you would need to make that offline account an online account by using the Microsoft account (provided it's not already tied to an Xbox gamertag.
Those steps can be found
here.

If the Xbox account is already an online account with Microsoft account attached to it, then no, you will not be able to merge the 2 accounts together. Nothing can be transferred between accounts so any rewards earned on one account are locked to that account.

Hey there FurryGarlic7059.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to transfer balance from your Microsoft account to your Xbox Live account. You can change the Microsoft Account associated with your Xbox Live account with steps in
