    XBOX live - I want to change the email associated with my account


    I was told by customer service that there is no way to this without deleting my gamer profile and losing the credit on my account. I'm not sure why that is not even an option.

    :)

    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.

    XBOX live - I want to change the email associated with my account

    Hello Sean

    Sorry to hear about the frustration with changing email. You are able to change the email on the account, you can go to
    Account page sign in then you will need to follow

    how to change email address associated to Microsoft account
    . Please note this is important, If the primary email is any Microsoft domain such as live, hotmail, outlook you will lose the email once it is changed. meaning once you change if you used email
    for work, personal or anything else, you wont be able to any longer.

    Hope this helps, let us know.

    Thanks

    Changing the email associated with my account

    I have a similar situation but won't to know why we would have to input a new email that is not associated with any other Microsoft accounts? Reason for asking is the only reason I want to change my Xbox Live account is so that I can use the email that
    is associated with my Windows 8 account. Otherwise I can't use the "games" app
