Can you move Gamertag from 1 microsoft account to another?

If you want to move the existing profile (Let's call that A), you will have to move the profile associated with the e-mail you want (let's call it B) to another e-mail (let's call that C) so that the current one (A) gets moved to e-mail B.

•If you try to switch your Xbox LIVE gamertag (or Xbox Music tag) from one Microsoft account to a different Microsoft account that's already linked to another Xbox LIVE gamertag, you'll get the following error message:

The Microsoft account (or Windows Live ID) you’re switching to is already linked to another Xbox account.

Before you can switch your gamertag in this case, you must first remove the existing gamertag from the Microsoft account you want to use. Here's how:

1.Consider the following scenario:

◦Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.

◦Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

In this scenario, your gamertag is Gamertag B, and you want to move it to Microsoft account 1.

2.At accounts.live.com, create a new Microsoft account. You'll only need this account as a temporary means of moving your gamertags.

Example:

◦Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.

◦Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

◦Microsoft account 3 is free.

3.Switch the gamertag that's linked to the Microsoft account that you want to use to the Microsoft account that you created in Step 3.

Example:

◦Microsoft account 1 is now free.

◦Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 2.

◦Gamertag A is now linked to Microsoft account 3.

4.Switch your gamertag to the Microsoft account that you want to use.

Example:

◦Gamertag B is now linked to Microsoft account 1.

◦Microsoft account 2 is now free.

◦Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 3.

5.To complete the switch of gamertags between the two original Microsoft accounts, you must wait 30 days. After 30 days, switch Gamertag A from Microsoft account 3 to Microsoft account 2.

Example:

◦Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 1.

◦Gamertag A is now linked to Microsoft account 2.

◦Microsoft account 3 is now free.

6.Cancel the Microsoft account that you created in step 2.

Example:

◦Gamertag B is now linked to Microsoft account 1.

◦Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 3.

◦Microsoft account 3 is cancelled.

•When you change your Microsoft account, your Microsoft Points are automatically transferred to the new Microsoft account.

•You can move a gamertag to a different Microsoft account only once every 30 days.

◦This includes new gamertags downloaded from Xbox LIVE.

◦If you try to move a gamertag before 30 days have passed since the last time you moved it, you’ll get the following error message:

Sorry, we can't change your Microsoft account right now.

Hi there,

-

Like x24hrs2livex mentions, you can not merge accounts, you will have to start everything from scratch.

Gamerscore, saved games, gamertag, purchases can not be moved.

If your goal was to move that xbox live account connected to your fathers email address to your own address, you should have used the steps on this link:

support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account these steps will move a xbox live account from one email (Microsoft Account) to another.

-

You can still do this, but you will first need to move the newly created xbox live account to another Microsoft Account to free up your email address. (See the Notes part on that link)

Sign in using your Xbox Live gamertag.

Go to settings and select Account.

Scroll right to Your Information and select Account Security.
