Can you run multiple gamer tags from one Microsoft account

Hi! My name is Ben and hope you are doing well.

About your concern, yes you will need to create a new Microsoft account in order to create a new gamertag for your daughter. A gamertag can be associated on one Microsoft account only.

You may create a new account via https://signup.live.com and once you have a new Microsoft email address, you may then setup a new gamertag by signing in the new email at https://account.xbox.com/profile page.

I hope the information helps. Let us know if you have further questions and we will do our best to assist.

Kind regards,

Ben

hello there i don't think you guys in microsoft are getting the picture how do you remove a gamer tag from a microsoft account so there is no gamer tag on the account? better yet how can you cancel a microsoft account period?

Hello Rich,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. Unfortunately, it is impossible to move gamer tag from one account to another. However, if the account you want to move it to, does not have a gamer tag then you can

change the primary email on the one you want to move with the other email.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Brad

There is no way to delete a gamer tag. You can pay to have it changed, but deleting the Microsoft Account will not delete the associated gamer tag and will only make that gamer tag inaccessible since there will no longer be a supporting Microsoft account.

Yes they were live accounts that's why they had gamer tags. A few years ago you can set up a gamer tag on the Xbox without the link to a Microsoft account so how do you recover these old gamer tags without a Microsoft account?
