  1. Xbox Live - Changing the email from one account to the other


    Salutations fellow gamers. I have been experiencing a problem when trying to switch the email address associated with this account.



    Whenever I try to change the email of this account to another, I run through the steps and type in the new email + password but then it informs me the other one is not valid. But, after attempting with different accounts I still have experienced the same
    problem. Can anyone help?

    Have a good day(s) all.

    :)

    How to Change your Xbox LIVE account information

    Overview

    It is possible to change information associated with your Xbox LIVE account like your name, address, phone number or email address.

    Note: You cannot change the country that is associated with your Xbox LIVE account. If you have moved to another country and you would like to access Xbox LIVE from there, you have to create a new Xbox LIVE account in your new location.

    How to Change your name, address, phone number or email on Xbox.com

    1) Go to My Account and Sign In with your Microsoft Account. (This is the email and password that is associated with your Xbox LIVE account).

    2) Make the changes you want to your billings account information and then click Save.

    How to Change your name, address, phone number or email on your console.

    1) Sign in using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.

    2) Proceed to Settings, and then select Account.

    3) Select Your Information, and then go to Billing Information.

    4) Sign In with your Microsoft account password.

    5) Change your billing account information and then click Done.

    In case you want to change the billing name on your Xbox LIVE account, go to Xbox.com

    How can I sell my xbox one account safely?

    I have it linked to my main email, which also is linked to my bank account and other important stuff. I will be changing the email for the non-xbox related stuff, but can that some how still cause problems? Or would it be easier to just change my xbox accounts email to something separate so it isn't also connected to my important stuff.

    I am planning on selling my xbox one, with everything including the account since I have no use for it anymore. I am selling it though offerup, or those meet up apps. I'm just a bit worried they might have access to something like my credit card somehow, or my cousins account since I am able to log into his account through the console.

    Xbox Live - Changing the email from one account to the other

    Hi there,

    can you login at http://account.live.com with the other email address to which you want to move the xbox live account?

    merge online and offline account

    Only way to get your name would be to change it. Which would cost you 20$ due to the need to change both tags.

    You'll also want to change your tag's email addresses. Which is easy from the Xbox Dashboard.

    Change your Xbox.com forum account's email to a different one not in use, then log into your other LIVE account and then change that email to the one you just changed the last account from.

    delete account?

    You can't delete this account. However, you can create a dummy email account from one of the myriad email websites out there and then follow the instructions on the link to change the Windows Live ID (email) from this account first and the old one second.

    Account tied to old email...and more issues

    Hi there STHolt!

    Since you have to use your old email address to login to Xbox Live, I suggest you change the login email (Windows Live ID/Microsoft Account) here:

    support.xbox.com/.../change-xbox-live-account-info


    Follow the computer steps, and you will see an option to change your Windows Live ID.

    As far as removing your email from the other gamertag, you would need access to that account to remove it. Remember that the Windows Live ID can be any email address that you choose!
