Hello httpsbecky,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in changing the gamertag that was assigned to your Microsoft account. Once an Xbox profile is created on a Microsoft account, the account is automatically assigned a gamertag.
Each account gets one free gamertag change. We have a support article which explains how to

change your account's gamertag. The article provides steps on how to change your gamertag through the Xbox website. Does an error message or error code appear when you attempt to change your gamertag online? Be sure to let us know the results!

Hey there NoahMiner869.

It sounds like the WhispyKing account is using an auto-generated Gamertag. If you sign into Xbox Live or Xbox.com with a Microsoft Account that does not have a Gamertag attached you'll be given a random Gamertag. You'll need to change your Microsoft account
on that Gamertag in order to free up your e-mail.

For steps on this, check out this
Change Microsoft Account Troubleshooter. Let us know how it goes.

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...

So after speaking with support, here's all the reasons why you might be unable to swap accounts (mine was that I recovered my account onto the xbox one). Seems a little excessive, and silly if you ask me.

- After you create an Xbox Live gamertag, you cannot change the Microsoft account that is associated with the gamertag for 30 days.

- After you create a new Microsoft account and associate the new Microsoft account with your gamertag, you cannot change the account again for 30 days.

- The new Microsoft account cannot have been associated with any other gamertag or billing account in the last 30 days.

- You cannot change the Microsoft account that is associated with a profile if the profile has been recovered to a new device in the last 30 days.

- The 30 day waiting period starts again each time you recover your gamertag to a new device.

- Only one Microsoft account change is allowed in a 30-day period (one change per gamertag). If you recently changed your Microsoft account, you won't be able to change the Microsoft account again until 30 days have passed.

- You must also wait 30 days after the profile was recovered from Xbox LIVE to a console before changing the Microsoft account. If 30 days have not passed after recovering the gamertag.
