    Gamertag issue on main account I guess :,(


    I created a secondary account with a gamertag I liked, just to save it for the future. One month ago, I changed the gamertag on the secondary account so I could use that name on my main account. But when I put it on my main account, it shows up with numbers, like in the new system. However, if I try to put that name back on the secondary account, it shows up without the numbers, lol. Is there any way to fix this?

    Account Closure

    Alright, so, my main issue is that I'd like to move THIS gamertag to another Microsoft account, (the one I use for my laptop, tablet, etc.) which has a different gamertag associated with it; so, i figured my easiest solution would be to delete that gamertag.
    Guess that one wont work! Do I have any other options? Haha

    Thanks!

    I can't associate my outlook account with my xbox account

    Hello MxYg

    A gamer-tag can only be associated with 1 Microsoft account. Both your Microsoft account each have an assoicated gamer tag.

    Step 1 ) Create a temporary account in order to proceed with the transfer method.

    Note: Do not accept the terms if you plan on logging onto xbox.com with that temporary account. Accepting it will give a random gamertag.

    • Gamertag A (Main Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 1 (secondary account).
    • Gamertag B (secondary Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 2 (Main account).
    • Microsoft account 3 is free. (temporary account)
    Step 2) Sign in to your Xbox with your main (old) Microsoft account. Change the account associated with the gamertag with the temporary account. By doing so you will set your main account free from any Gamertag.

    Use steps 1-9 on the link below to change your the Microsoft account associated with your gamertag.

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

    • Gamertag A (Main Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 1 (( secondary account ).
    • Gamertag B (secondary Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 3 (temporary account).
    • Microsoft account 2 (Main account) is free.
    Step 3) Sign in with your main Gamertag. Change the secondary account with your main (old) account. (Apply the same procedure in the link )

    • Gamertag A (Main Gamertag) is linked to Micrsoft account 2 ( Main account ).
    • Gamertag B (secondary Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 3 (temporary account).
    • Microsoft account 1 (Secondary account) is free.
    After following these three steps your main gamertag should be associated with your old Microsoft account.

    • Gamertag A (Main Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 2 ( Main account ).

    WHY IS IT SO HARD PLEASE HELP CANT CHANGE EMAIL ADDRESS

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account That is the guide I followed because I had the
    issue both e-mails already had gamertags associated with them. I had to do the ridiculous switching thing with account A, B and C. I managed to get the unwanted account from my main mail to the temporary but I can't switch the actively used Xbox account to
    that now empty e-mail. So we're experiencing the same problem I guess. The system Microsoft uses for this is absolutely ridiculous and the most user unfriendly system I have ever faced.

    account issue, guess haked?!

    You should try to fill out the account recovery form again, It uses old info so you should be able to regain the account. I know it takes a few tries for some people so it may be worthwhile to try again.
