How To See How Old Your Xbox Account Is:
You have to try the following methods to see how old your Xbox account is:

To check when your Xbox account was created using the welcome email, follow these steps:
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: Open your email client or go to your email service’s website.

Step 3: Open the welcome email and scroll down to the bottom of the message.
Step 4: The date that the account was created should be listed at the bottom of the email, along with other account details, such as the Xbox Live Gamertag and the email address associated with the account.
