Hi everyone, I haven't been on here for a while but basically I'm just seeking some advice.

I have an old Xbox 360 account that I used to use with my old Xbox 360 and I had downloaded games onto my profile on that account. I have recently got a new Xbox 360 and I have been using a new account on it as I forgot my details for my old account with all my games on. Basically, I've recovered my old account with the games on but when I try to download them onto the new xbox I've been using it won't let me. The download get to about 80% then disappears from my download list and appears in my storage but the game file is corrupted and say's, "Incomplete" I understand that these games have been assigned to another console but is there any way to get around this? Ideally I wanted to transfer all the data to my new Xbox profile but I just don't know if it's even possible. I wouldn't even mind sticking to my old profile just to play those specific games but it won't even let me download them. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

You will need the other account info and then you will be able to licensee transfer your things to the new console.

if you cannot get your info for the other acc, youre most likely screwed. Maybe contact Microsoft and see what they can do but I doubt they'll do anything quite honestly

I would contact support and see if you can get the account back, If you can remember key details they should be able to help you out with that. Best of luck bro.

I remember all of my details I have the account on my xbox now, if I do a licence transfer from the old account to the new one what will happen? Will my new profile be affected by it? Will I loose any data ect?

If you have access to the old account and you license transfer, all it will do is allow your "new" profile to play your old profiles games/dlc without the old profile being signed in.

On the old account click license transfer then go to your download history on the account and download all of the stuff you want to play, after you do that you won't need to sign into the old account anymore to play the games. You will be able to play them on your new account & nothing will happen to the new account it will remain the exact same.

Make sure you're on the xbox360 you want the games/dlc on, then go on the old account and license transfer, then go to your download history on that account and download whatever it is you'd like to have. The content will then be able to be accessed by any account on that xbox360.
