    Gamer tag issues


    Just purchased a new Xbox 1X and when I sign in with my email it downloads an old gamer tag from years ago. I have my current gamer tag on my Xbox 1. Why is this old gamer tag still linked to my account and why does the new Xbox 1X only recognize this old
    gamer tag and not even give me a choice to download my current one?

    :)

    Howdy!

    Sounds like you might be signing into with the wrong email account for that GT. We wouldn't want you to share your email account here as the Forums are public,

    but is it possible you have that email account with another Domain such as Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc?

    If you are not able to find the correct email a good way to find the correct one is to use the

    Find your Microsoft account email address     article.

    If you have access to your old console you can also check for that email address using the following steps:

    1. On the home screen, look in the upper left corner. You should see your gamertag, your name and the email of phone you use to sign in rotating there.
    2. If you do not see your email, you may have changed your settings to not show it.
    3. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    4. Navigate to System.
    5. Select Settings
    6. Select Sign-in, security, and passkey

    Sadly due to your gamer tag not being offensive (God like can mean anything from being god like in the sense of greek mythology)

    In my personal opinion I do not think Microsoft will let you change it for free until allot of people complain against it.

    But before they at least allowed me to change it free of charge, they didn't even allow me to change it now I have to pay 10 dollars because my name wasn't offensive.

    Am i understanding It correctly It was a forcés name change and You want to refuse thé sa me name? No That wont workk as thé name would be banned

    Any attempt at reusing It will only end badly for You

    Too many forcéd name changes on one account will less to a perm ban of thé account

    Time to read thé code of conduct
