When it comes to emails, a majority of users have at least one email address. So, it’s not surprising that a good portion of gamers have a designated email address for gaming, especially considering an email is required to use online functions such as Xbox Live.

Since many of us may change our primary email address as time goes on, sometimes we need to remove an old email and replace it with the one we use more frequently.

Luckily, you can easily change the email address associated with your Xbox One. However, it’s important to keep in mind that you have to replace it with another Microsoft email address, such as Hotmail or Outlook.
