Can I migrate my Minecraft account back to Mojang?
The answer to this question is no, as the migration of Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts is a one-way process and cannot be reversed. Once you have migrated your Mojang account to a Microsoft account, you will not be able to migrate it back to a Mojang account.
Understanding the Migration Process
