Microsoft account hassles (Xbox etc)
Posted: April 18th, 2021, 1:08 pm
Hey, so I've got about 4 Microsoft accounts. I've got the first one I ever set up about 15 years ago when I got my 360 for Xbox Live, two through work and one through uni.
I've just had a right game this morning trying to log in to my Microsoft account in Minecraft on the Switch, it was coming up with some random username I never chose, until I realised I'd signed in with an account that wasn't my Xbox Live one. So then I signed in with my Xbox Live account, and that was fine - Alex79uk.
But, my Xbox Live account still logs in with an old Blue Yonder email address I've not used or had access to in well over a decade. So if there's any issues or anything like that with it, I'm not sure how I'll be informed. Or if I need to reset my password etc.
Does anyone know if there's a way to delete MS accounts, and then also change my log in email address on my Xbox Live account? I'm going to be getting an Xbox later this year, and would prefer everything on one account. I could just set up (another) new account but then I'd lose all my past purchases on Xbox etc.
This whole thing is a big pain in the ass, and I'm not sure how or if I can resolve it. Any ideas?
(In case you lost the questions in that ramble, can you change your log in email address on Xbox Live, and also can you delete MS accounts you no longer need, does anyone know?)
Ta!
