Changing Gamertag to different account

Hello,

I have read the help on switching gamertags between Microsoft accounts. It's not very clear.

I have an Xbox one, still have a 360. I have been an xbox and xbox live customer for years. These units are for my grandson.

I am trying to setup the xbox one using my account and a parent gamertag and move his gamertag to a child account in my subscription.

Basically I want the Xbox gold subscription to be associated with my Microsoft account and his gamertag to be associated with a different account.

Right now his gamertag is listed as an adult because it is my account. I do not want any of his game achievements or info to be lost in the switch.

I called support but they couldn't help me.

Maybe this is not possible.

Thanks

Barry

Ok, now I understand. Follow the steps located at the link I'm posting for how to change the email address associated with the gamertag. The easiest option to do this will be on the 360. Once done, you will have freed up the email address that is currently
on it so you can create your own gamertag.

However, be aware that you cannot change the age of the gamertag once it's been set. This means that if the tag is currently adult it cannot be changed to a child account.

Hi! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

The gamertag system isn't case sensitive. As long as it's the same gamertag, it won't consider it as a different gamertag when you change a letter case.

The workaround here is for you to change it to a different one then change it back again to your original gamertag with different letter case already. That would mean paying it twice.

what i would do is get a few microsoft point cards, change the gamertag of account 1 to a different gamertag, then change the gamertag of account 2 to the one you want. was this helpful?

The Enforcement Team do not watch these forums. You won't get a free Gamertag change. If your Gamertag IS reset (unlikely), you will have to pay to change it to a different one.
