How do I get my gamertag on my Xbox one console to match my gamertag on my Microsoft account

Hi, I'm Luis a Xbox user just like you. Thanks for reaching out us here.

It should be the same GT Jay, are you using the same email on your xbox console?

If for some reason you on a different email, all you need to do is to download the right Microsoft account profile

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.

Select Profile & System > Add or switch > Add new.

Enter the email address for the Microsoft account that you want to add, and then select Enter.

Important Make sure that you do not select Get a new account unless you want to create a new Microsoft account.

Enter the password for your Microsoft account, and then select Enter.

Review the Microsoft Service Agreement and Privacy Statement, and then select I Accept.

Follow the steps to configure your Sign-In, security & PIN preferences to finish adding your profile to the console.

Hello Dr Crazy,

These are the steps to actually transferring the Gamertag to another Microsoft Account, though they do require an Xbox 360 and cannot be done on Xbox One:

Let us know how you get on.

I have 2 accounts. My original xbox account had my gamertag changed from the default one to the one it has now (the gamertag I would like to have) and I have my new account which I had as a Microsoft account before they were merged. My Microsoft account is what I use everything for, but I want to have my Xbox gamertag on that account. That account was set up as an Xbox account, and when I tried to change the gamertag for it, the limit for characters was 12. So in short I have had the gamertag in the past, and still do. But it needs to be put onto a different account. And to be clear, the gamertag is the only thing I care about from my original account. If I can get my Microsoft account to have my gamertag I would likely delete my old account entirely.

Hi David,

The Xbox Gamertag FAQ from Microsoft support's page states:
"Q: I have more than 12 characters in my gamertag! Do I need to change it?
"A: Nope. If you like your gamertag the way it is, you keep it."

Well, I like my gamertag the way my classic gamertag is. Why am I forced to change it for the modern gamertag?

Re: My statement about cloning or duplicating:
I dont want to clone or duplicate a gamertag from one account to another. I want to clone or duplicate the name that already exists in my classic gamertag to my modern gamertag.

There HAS to exist an employee at Microsoft that is able to manage account details from the backend. How do I get in contact with them to resolve this issue?

"However, you can choose not to use or display the modern gamertag and primarily use your classic gamertag instead."
Great. How?
