thank you this has helped and it now has changed

Hi, UprootedPilot47.

Please make sure that the email address you want to transfer the Gamertag to is not yet linked to any Gamertag.

Here are a few things that I got from Xbox support.

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.

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.

Hope that helps.

That's great! I'm glad you were able to make it work on your end.

Hello,

I seen that you stated with you are using a Gmail Account. At this moment the when switching accounts over the Xbox only will read Microsoft Accounts(Live Accounts) in that setup. Please try making a Live Account at:
http://outlook.com/ and sign up as a new user.

Thank you! Please keep us updated.
