A few years ago I setup my son on his kindle fire with a gamertag id using my Hotmail account (xboxlive server) so he could play Minecraft online with his friends. I've now bought a xbox one and want to set it up properly with accounts for me and separate accounts for the kids.

Can I transfer my gamerid from my email to a new email I have setup for my son, so all his progress and friends remain intact?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks, but I’m not looking to change the billing details etc, I just want to transfer his gamer tag to his own email so he doesn’t lose his friends etc.

Unfortunately it looks like doing it that way deletes the account you are transferring from.

I want to keep my old email and set that account up for myself with a new gamertag, but transfer my sons gamertag with his associated friends and game progress to a new email I have created for him, linked to the family account.
