So my primary account has my gamer tag attached to it while my secondary has a random gamer tag attach to it as well by mistake. Instead of playing musical chairs with creating a third account and move everything every where.(process takes close to a year to completely)
Cant i just switch the email names around?
On a PC Browser, log in to your Microsoft account. Add a new email. Make it primary. wait about 24 hours then delete the old address. It then takes about 48 hours for the servers to all catch up and the change will be permanent on your phone as well as everywhere else. You do not loose data or purchase history
Example:
Set 1
Primary:
Abc@outlook.com Secondary:
Xyz@outlook.com Set 2
Primary:
Abc@outlook.com Secondary:
Xyz@outlook.com --aliase: Jkl@outlook (add jkl alias)
Set 3
Primary:
Abc@outlook.com Secondary:
Jkl@outlook.com(primary for this account, removed xyz email)
Set 4
Primary:
Abc@outlook.com --alias:xyz@outlook.com(add xyz as a alias for primary)
Secondary:
Jkl@outlook.com Set 5
Primary:
Xyz@outlook.com(delete abc)
Secondary:
Jkl@outlook.com Will this work instead?
If I delete xyz account, will the name of xyz become available again in the future?
