yes its possible. you need to change the live id associated with your gamertag
afaik the only way to do this is with an xbox360
aww ok. don't have an xbox 360 console. hope they allow that option, like in itunes which you can do anytime, and any number of times
I think it's possible for you to do this from the XBOX Live website. You'll need to log in to your account on the website and then go in to the Account Settings section. You may not be able to immediately change it there and then, but you may be able to email them your request to change the Live ID associated with the gamertag.
ok thanks for the help guys. Finally did it using an Xbox 360, which is a requirement. Good thing a cousin of mine had one

In the process of moving from an old email to a new email. I have now set up my new phone using my new live account. I've purchased many apps under my old account. Is it possible to reinstall without purchasing again?

I don't think so, since your device is registered to your live ID by using the activation key provided with your device. You should contact winphonesupport on twitter.
Try this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080702144259AAwo9bf. This should allow you to associate your new email with your old gamertag which is linked to your purchases.
I would like to transfer my gamertag to a new hotmail account, and with my marketplace apps, however I am currently having problems with that as I dont have a 360 is there anyone here with good rep that would be kind enough to change the e-mail I will give you access of course and will let you use my zune pass that currently has about 18 days left on it.
Thank You.
If you can please pm me I will ask you to add me on messenger so I you can change it.
Hello my xda friends,
Last night I updated to Mango RTM version. Its all working very good.
I synced my Windows Live account with mail and people.
Also the chat is working good thru the Messaging hub.. But only facebo
ok is showing up..
So my question is: How can I add Windows Live accounts to the chat function?
Thanks alot
EDIT:
Some additional information: I have 2 Windows Live account. One for the marketplace (a fake one). This is also the one I add first in the phone.
This is because Zune then sees my fake account so im able to download apps.
After that I add my 'good' account. The problem is, the people from this account are not showing up in the Messaging hub??!!
Sounds excessively complicated to me. I'd just stick to one Live account (I use the one tied to my Xbox Live account, personally).

Yes I know but as far as I know its the only way to download / install apps from the Marketplace?
I tried a hard reset and entered my normal account first... then the Messaging page IS showing my people BUT as you can guess, I cannot download anything from the marketplace.
So right now its Marketplace VS Messenger....
You can't. The built-in Messenger only uses the primary Live ID. You cannot have it sign-on to multiple Live IDs at once, or use an alternate ID.
It seems to be that the marketplace is already available
At the 23 of august MS finally added the Netherlands to the list!
Finally I can drop my fake account
Thanks for all the answers
Ok so I have been wondering how many people here are using a US Windows Live ID and is currently living outside US?
My Windows Live ID (NZ) has been perma-banned recently because I took photos of my girlfriend and I touching. I have forgotten that the auto-upload was on hence all that taken photos went straight to skydrive, but that mobile uploads folder was set to private or "only me" so no one could see it. Still MS banned my account, leaving my zune and xbox profiles untouched.
I was still able to receive emails, but not send, nor share photos to facebook and twitter, and even buy apps and games from marketplace, hence that Live account is totally useless so I deactivated it. I made a new one set in the US so I could get features that I couldnt before with the NZ account, but I accidentally made a new xbox profile so I couldnt transfer my current one to the new one. Now I'm making another new US Live ID even though I live in NZ. I have asked my cousin if I could use their home address so I could put in my credit card details.
The only drawbacks I could think of using a US-based Live ID are the currency, and Local Scout. Currency conversion doesnt bother me. I have paid $11NZD for the ChevronWP7 unlock and that was $9USD. Games in NZ are usually $4.99NZD, but converting them from $2.99USD will cost around same price so its not really a problem to me. Local Scout isnt supported in NZ hence it wont work.
So the whole point of this is, how many here are actually using a US Live ID but not living inside the US?
I'm having trouble getting Xbox LIVE access on my Surface. I use my email, but my dad's email has Xbox Music and Xbox LIVE access. Even though our accounts are linked, I can't access it. How can I?
If you log on with a live account to the pc, you can't specify a different live account in the apps. If you log on with a local account, you can manually specify a different live account for each app like music, video etc. Is this what you mean?

The website says there isn't a way to connect my PC to SkyDrive if I use a Microsoft account. Can I use my dad's for SkyDrive as well?

If you want to use an alternate live account t for services such as the store or music apps then yes, I believe so.

You can transfer Xbox Live accounts from one account to another if they works for you. That's what I ended up doing when I had one email tied to Xbox Live and another tied to my Surface. Stupid that it doesn't work even though they're linked.

I followed the procedures outlined in "Can I switch my gamertag to a different Microsoft account?" and it worked for me
