    Change only legacy gamertag


    I would like to change only my legacy gamertag, but you have to change your main one before you get prompted for the legacy change.

    I changed my tag today, and it generated the random numbers at the end because I missed the small text that talked about the legacy system.

    :)

    I want to change just the second tab, but there is no option to.

    To get here I had to change my username to 2 then I was able to choose a different legacy tag, but that means I have to change my main tag twice to a temporary, then st it back.

    Can't change legacy gamertag on the change gamertag site

    You're not understanding his question. It's not a question of a gamertag being in use, it's the fact that you are unable to change the legacy gamertag without first changing your new gt that can be whatever you choose. Only then can you hit customize on the legacy tag, which is still the primary tag in games. In his case he has the tag he wants therefore he isn't able to change the tag progressing him to the needed screen to customize the legacy tag. The problem is Microsoft added a "new" gt system without removing the previous then screw it up further by only allowing one to be customized.

    Why can't i change classic gamer tag?

    Because it's there for legacy compatibility with games that will break with the new format. All changes to gamertags now use the same system that includes the numbers.
