having difficulty setting up an xbox live account on 360 in 2021

Hi everyone

Im trying to set up an xbox live account on my xbox 360, but when it asks for a first name it gives me an invalid message. I've even tried just typing random letters and numbers at least 10-20 times now. I don't know what to do to get it to work. My network connection is fine, I'm just not able to get past the first name part.

Hello @EdwardWalker8!

With issues like these, we recommend trying some basic troubleshooting steps first such as restarting your console as well as your router and try again. If the issue persists, please try creating the Xbox live account on Xbox.com, after its created recover the profile on your 360 console.

Give the troubleshooting a try and let us know how it goes!

I hope that this helps you out!

On xbox one all accounts are covered by one live account, on 360 you can have 2 accounts just set up his own profile.
