Your brain and soul stays the same. But you grow up in Joe's body. You see everything Joe saw. You feel what Joe felt. You have the same family as Joe. You grow up in the same house. As a baby, you're raised in the same crib that Joe was in. Your first sight is the same sight as Joe's first sight. Same height, weight, eye color, everything.

I think some people misunderstood the OP. If you switch genetic factors AND environmental factors, what else is there?

Say you were switched with person from another country, you wouldn't even speak the same language, you'd probably be a different religion...etc You'd be who that person was going to be.

Not exactly, since you still have your brain which is genetically different from Joe's. 



Exactly, and any decisions you make that are based on that different brain is out of your control. You didn't make yourself have a different brain. Your different brain is the sole factor that would make you different. How is that free will when the sole trait about yourself that makes you different is birth-given? You didn't decide to have a different brain. Nor do you decide how to use it.
