just bought a new laptop installed with windows 8 for my boy, for simple reasons we'll call his email win 8 account j@
He has an xbox account controlled by the wifes account for the last year which we will call p@
So i began the open a ms account to get win8 going with j@, all was good
it then in the smartglass gave him a new xbox user name (not his own)
when i followed links etc and tried to add p@ to the j@ it said account in use (because both are now MS accounts). So logically i closed the j@ account with MS...which takes 60days, therefore i hoped, when closed, i could log on as user p@, associate it to account j@ and have all his id with laptop and xbox account associated, then close the p@ account with ms.
however the laptop now will not recognise user as i have closed the MS account j@, so all i can do is open j@ once more :(
What i want to do in an ideal word is have the laptop as j@ and have his current xbox account which is with p@ moved to j@, but ms does not seem to allow this as they are both seen as primary accounts
My second thought was temp setup on laptop as p@, close ms j@ 60 days alias account j@. In 60 days with p@ , then associate j@ ms again with laptop...but i cant see help files to do this with the laptop either....ummmmm :( and is long drawn out
Hope this all makes sense? There must be an easy way?
