    Changing gamertag, or moving Minecraft to a new Microsoft account.


    Hi, I tried to do this through the contact-us thing, but it just tells me that "something went wrong on our end" and I can't get through.

    So this is a very long story, and hard to condense.

    I was born mostly female, with female anatomy but XY chromosomes. To fix this disordering of nature, a doctor played god, cut out my female parts, and I was raised as a boy with conversion therapy to try and make me a boy mentally. It didn't work, but it made my life hell, and Minecraft was one of my main escapes for a long time. Eventually escaping stopped working, and I transitioned back to live as a woman (so I'm kind of trans but not exactly), and I basically... created a whole new legal, social, online, etc identity, changing from "male" to female. In the process, I guess I got distracted and forgot about gaming.

    Anyway, I have a major surgery in December. I have to go overseas since no one in my country can do it, and I will be laid up for a month. So I'm thinking about how to occupy myself, and Minecraft immediately comes to mind. I log into my Microsoft account and... It's a new account without Minecraft. I manage to log in to my old account, and my Gamertag is MrKookie. Mister. Like that isn't traumatic.

    I can't change it without paying money, which is a kick in the teeth. In that case, I'd rather just buy Minecraft again on my actual account. But having already bought the Java version twice, I would be... paying even more money to Microsoft because I was abused as a child. And that just feels extremely garbage, so I was wondering if there's any chance of Microsoft doing something to help me out here.

    :)

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this KatieOlivia

    Sorry to say but unfortunately any kind of transfer between Microsoft accounts can't be made.

    This is for security reasons

    To remove that gamertag that is connected to your 'main' email (Microsoft Account), just change the connected gamertag connected to a new Microsoft account.

    -

    So first free up your 'correct' email address by moving the connected gamertag to a new Microsoft Account

    and after that you should be able to change the 'email' (Microsoft Account) for your main gamertag to your 'correct' email address (Microsoft Account)

    Delete an old gamer profile?

    lol. It's not Microsoft's fault that you changed gamertags. You can move this account off of the Microsoft Account to another one. Create the new one at signup.live.com, then go to Settings -> Account -> Account Security on this gamertag and select Change
    Microsoft Account. Then this MSA will be free.

    IIRC on PSN you can't change the e-mail attached to an account period.
