Changing Microsoft Account associated with my Gamertag.

FragilePage217 · Sep 19, 2014

Hello

I recently got a Xbox one and transferred over my GamerTag from 360 onto it. The microsoft account with the gamertag is lets say Email1. Now I don't normally use Email 1 that much anymore; when I tried to use skype on xbox one, my skype account is with another
email I frequently used, lets call it email 2 and skype won't work. I decided to change the gamertags email from Email 1 to 2. It said that Email 2 already has a account so I transferred that gamertag to some random email I made. Email 2 should be free now
but when I try to change it, it still says the email is already in use. I logged onto to this site and it made a Gamertag on Email 2 (which I'm using right now and want my original gamertag to have).

What is the easiest way to delete this gamertag and change the microsoft account on my original gamertag?

Change the Microsoft account that my gamertag (XboxLive) is associated to.

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...

Adding/Changing an email to an existing Gamertag

Hey dR3K0b!

Gamertags are tied to a Microsoft account, so changing the email address associated with the Microsoft account will also change the email address associated with that gamertag. There's a guide on

how to change the email address associated with your Microsoft account that can help walk you through that process.

Please follow this how-to for resolving your issue:

support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

Please be aware that the new account must be created at http://account.live.com and not in the Xbox itself. The transfer had to be done on the 360.

Is there any way of doing this without an Xbox 360? I don't own one now I have a Xbox One.

No, unfortunately not yet.There is only the possibility to change the associated emaiadress, but not the account.

If it is enough for you to just have the emailadress changed, then you may use this guide:

Hi TK,

Technically transfers cannot be do but you can change the email address associated with a microsoft account.

In order to associate the gamertag with another account you will need to create a whole account with an email address and then do the following to associate the gamertag to that account. How
to change the email address associated with your Microsoft account

Each 360 account can be associated with a Live account.

Currently I have:

old 360 account -> associated with my Live account but with the old gamertag

new 360 account -> associated with my Live account but with the new gamertag

The new account got created when I downloaded my profile using my microsoft sign in. The old account was associated with the same microsoft sign in but it didn't recognize my gamertag change. Now it won't let me sign in to live because it asks for my microsoft
sign in details. I'm guessing the sign in fails because it's trying to find the microsoft account associated with the old gamertag.

I either need to somehow transfer my saves over to the new 360 account so I can upload them to the cloud, or I need someway for my Xbox to realize that my gamertag changed on the old account so I can sign into live again with that account.

If I'm not mistaken, you can change the email associated with a Gamertag without losing anything.
