setting up a new account?

After you make an account and upgrade it to Xbox Live Gold it will automatically give you a random gamertag then after that you can go on your Xbox console or on the computer and change it one time for free. After that it cost 800 Microsoft points (10 Dollars
USD). Hope this helped if you have any other questions message me!

setting up a new account?

I have never got a random Gamertag from transferring from Silver account to Gold & kept the NanoTechSoldier Gamertag I originally signed up with on the Silver account etc..

There is an easier way to get a Free Xbox Live Account too..

When you turn your new Xbox 360 console on.. Click on Create Profile & choose a Gamertag name.. Once your profile signs in, Press the Guide Button in the center of the controller & then click
Join Xbox LIVE, to enter your chosen e-mail address & password for the account & sign up to Xbox Live

It keeps the name you have chosen on your Profile & Won't randomise any name.. (As long as no-one else has the name you have chosen on your profile etc)

This is a new account. I signed in with my windows live id. So I put the same info on Xbox to connect it. Maybe ive set it up wrong. Not sure I wanted to delete this account on the Internet and reset the Xbox to this account details ???? Sorry I'm new to
Xbox.

As others have suggested delete the games from your living room xbox and set up parental control then use your same account on the new xbox so you can access all your games

If your talking about the free one month of xbox for new users. Each console can have up to three new accounts that will give you a free month of xbox live. Just set up a xbox live account and choose silver membership and then it will give you the free one
month gold.
