    How do I move a gamertag to another Microsoft account?


    Hi there,

    my son has created a Microsoft account from a non-existing email, which means it can't be verified. He has used it for a long time, and it's the gamertag he wants.

    I found info online on how to move a gamertag. I've done as suggested: created a new Microsoft account , where I want to move the old gamertag. But the new Microsoft-account creates a new gamertag, so when I want to move the old one to the new account, it
    says I can't move it there because the account is using another gamertag. How do I create an "empty account " where I can move the old gamertag?

    :)

    How do I change email when the email account already has an Xbox Gamertag?

    So I have an Xbox Gamertag, but I want to move this to a different Microsoft account. However the destination Microsoft account has created itself a gamertag of it's own. How do I move from account 1 to account 2 when both have gamertags associated?

    Hi there,

    You should be able to create a Microsoft account here:
    signup.live.com/signup.aspx     just be sure not to use it at xbox.com, the xbox console or any windows 8 device. Before you move the xbox live account to it

    move gamertag to different Microsoft account?!?!

    Hey HowTheFind



    Unfortunately there is not an option on the Xbox One to move a gamertag from one Microsoft account to another, however this is an option to do so on a Xbox 360. If you have one available you can check out this link and learn how to move it.

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

    Otherwise you would need to contact official support and see if they can do anything to help you out with moving your gamertag to that other MSA

    Permanently Deleting A Gamertag

    Hi there,

    the closest thing to deleting an account is moving it to another Microsoft Account and then close that Microsoft Account.

    An option is to create a new Microsoft Account, move the xbox live account to that new Microsoft Account and close that Microsoft Account afterwards. This should make the xbox live account inaccessible

    See this link for the how to move the account to another Microsoft Account:
    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

    To close a Microsoft Account go to this link:
    https://account.live.com/     and use the Close Account option at the bottom

    I hope this will allow and help you to let your son go...
