    Changing Microsoft Account related to gamertag from a PC( without the use of an X-Box)


    Greetings,

    Few days ago I decided to create a new Microsoft account (an outlook.com to be precise).

    The reason was because I wanted to have a secondary secure e-mail along with my primary Hotmail(this account) that has my gamertag and Windows 8.1 registered to it.

    But I also decided to add a gamertag to that outlook.com account.

    The problem? Well when I tried to change the gamertag the system froze and it saved a gameratg I didn’t want. So now if I want to now change the gameratg I would have to pay which is something I’m not willing to do...(especially since

    1) paying money to change a gamertag is something that doesn’t sit well with me and

    2) my very first gamertag/GFWL account got suspended when trying to do that, which also resulted losing a great game (Lost Planet 2)because it’s key was slaved to the gamertag ))



    So I decided to follow your instructions and free this new account from the gamertag by transferring it to another windows live ID, in order to create another…with the right tag this time.

    Unfortunately your instructions require and X-Box console (which is something that I have l no intention of acquiring, my Windows 8.1 PC covers all my needs.)

    So I would like to know if it is possible to transfer/switch a gamertag to another e-mail,using my PC and not an X-Box Console.



    P.S. I tried following your instructions by using the Games for Windows Live client in Halo 2 but it always directs me to your site.

    Yours sincerely

    Alpha B.A. 7

    :)

    Changing gamertag without x-box

    Hi, I don't have a x-box console, so please tell me how to change my gamertag. This is very important issue to me. Microsoft promised I can change it one time for free. It will be unfair if I should have a x-box just for changing gamertag. So let me know
    how to do it. Do I have to use a desktop or can I do it with my phone, Lumia 900.

    Hi there,

    You can change your gamertag in Games for Windows Live. I don't know if it will work on a phone, you'll probably want to be on a computer to do it.

    -

    The specific steps are outlined here:
    support.xbox.com/.../change-xbox-live-gamertag

    -

    Typically the free name change has to be done within 30 days of creating the account. Hopefully you're still within that time frame.

    -

    I hope this helps.

    GamerTag

    I do not want to use anything x box related. I will not subscribe to x box services.

    The Microsoft store will not let me download it.

    How do you restore a deleted XBOX ONE account?

    You may want to take a look at this site:

    manage gamertag and profile

    If you can login to the account from a PC or tablet on Microsoft and see what it says there. If you are a parent account login to your account and see if there are any messages related to your sons account.

    X-Box Live and Microsoft Solitaire Collection

    I changed my email on all my accounts including Microsoft and X-Box. I can log on to all of the accounts, but Microsoft Solitaire Collection still does not connect via X-Box Live.

    Is it possible to transfer an X-box console game accidentally purchased onto microsoft PC account to my X-Box console account?

    Being new to the X-Box console I accidentally redeemed an X-box game code onto my Microsoft PC account.

    Firstly I am surprised there was no warning to at least notify me that the game would be incompatible.

    Secondly I now have a useless X-Box console game sitting on my Microsoft account.

    There must be some way to transfer this game from my PC account to my X-box account.

    Can anyone on this forum or at Microsoft please advise if it is possible for the game to be transferred or the redemption code reset so I can claim it onto my X-box account?
    Hello redeemed code can not be resolved. Buying codes are disposable and are assigned to one account. It is similar to a license plate, for example, with only one car.

    If you bought a game that's for Xbox Play Anywhere, you can play this game on both the console and the PC.

    And your Microsoft account with which you are logged in to your PC (if it is the same as the console) and the game you have saved on that game. So just install this game in your console, you will find this game in Ready to install.
