    A unusual gamertag associated with my account


    The email that I use to log in to my Microsoft account is my personal, every day email. When I log in to the Xbox One console, I use my gamertag that I specifically created and I can play games that way. However, when I log in to xbox support or to access
    my account information through the website, it thinks that my email is associated with a completely different gamertag that I did not create. I had this issue about two years ago as well. Back then, it was the exact same foreign gamertag associated with my
    Microsoft account that I am seeing today... the one I did not create. I don't remember how I got around it last time but today, I am at a complete loss. Is there an easy way around this?

    :)

    Transfer gamertag to new email

    I am trying to transfer my gamertag that is associated with my old hotmail account to a new outlook account. The outlook account is well over 30 days old. When I tried to transfer using my xbox, I was given an error that the outlook email is already associated
    with a gamertag. I logged in with it to see that it was associated with a free account. How do I remove the gamertag from my outlook account to switch it from my hotmail one.

    A unusual gamertag associated with my account

    Note: is not my gamertag. This is the foreign gamertag I am logging into the website with. My ACTUAL gamertag that I created is 100% different.

    Playing previously purchased Xbox games (Play Anywhere games) on a PC running Windows 10

    that is unusual, as i get the same thing and i always have to use the pin associated with the actual windows account that is logged in.

    Change the Microsoft account that my gamertag (XboxLive) is associated to.

    Hi barretjones

    I'm not interested in changing my mail. My question is about changing the microsoft account associated with my gamertag on xbox live. :) I wan't to associate my sons microsoft account with the gamertage on my Microsoft account. But thanks anyways...

    Transfer saves to different account

    Each 360 account can be associated with a Live account.

    Currently I have:

    old 360 account -> associated with my Live account but with the old gamertag

    new 360 account -> associated with my Live account but with the new gamertag

    The new account got created when I downloaded my profile using my microsoft sign in. The old account was associated with the same microsoft sign in but it didn't recognize my gamertag change. Now it won't let me sign in to live because it asks for my microsoft
    sign in details. I'm guessing the sign in fails because it's trying to find the microsoft account associated with the old gamertag.

    I either need to somehow transfer my saves over to the new 360 account so I can upload them to the cloud, or I need someway for my Xbox to realize that my gamertag changed on the old account so I can sign into live again with that account.

    Hi TK,

    Technically transfers cannot be do but you can change the email address associated with a microsoft account.

    In order to associate the gamertag with another account you will need to create a whole account with an email address and then do the following to associate the gamertag to that account. How
    to change the email address associated with your Microsoft account
