How to transfer gamertag to new email

I have a hotmail email and now have an outlook email and want to switch my gamertag to the outlook account. However, when I try to do that it says that my outlook account already has a gamertag. I thought that was weird because I had never added anything.
Come to find out my outlook account does have some randomly assigned gamertag attached to it that I never made. Because of this I can't have my gamertag attached to outlook. What do I do?

Transfer gamertag to new email

Can you clarify a bit. When I try to change the email address to the new outlook one on my xbox it won't allow it bc Microsoft automatically gave that email a gamertag when I opened it. When I change the primary email for the outlook email in the settings
online, it changes the login *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** to the new one I make primary and locks me out of the using the *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** name I want to use. In short it makes me create a new email address, but I want to use the outlook one I've already made and wouldn't I need
to wait 30 more days once that is created?

 

Transfer gamertag to new email

• If you try to switch your Xbox Live gamertag (or Xbox Music tag) from one Microsoft account to a different Microsoft account that's already linked to another Xbox Live gamertag, you'll get the following error message:
  

Before you can switch your gamertag in this case, you must first remove the existing gamertag from the Microsoft account you want to use. Here's how:

1. 1. Consider the following scenario:
   • Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.
   • Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

In this scenario, your gamertag is Gamertag B, and you want to move it to
Microsoft account 1.

1. At accounts.live.com, create a new Microsoft account. You'll only need this account as a temporary means of moving your gamertags.
   
   Example:
   • Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.
   • Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.
   • Microsoft account 3 is free.
2. Switch the gamertag that's linked to the Microsoft account that you want to use to the Microsoft account that you created in Step 3.
   
   Example:
   • Microsoft account 1 is now free.
   • Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 2.
   • Gamertag A is now linked to Microsoft account 3.
3. Switch your gamertag to the Microsoft account that you want to use.
   
   Example:
   • Gamertag B is now linked to Microsoft account 1.
   • Microsoft account 2 is now free.
   • Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 3.
4. To complete the switch of gamertags between the two original Microsoft accounts, you must wait 30 days. After 30 days, switch
   Gamertag A from Microsoft account 3 to Microsoft account 2.
   
   Example:
   • Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 1.
   • Gamertag A is now linked to Microsoft account 2.
   • Microsoft account 3 is now free.
5. Cancel the Microsoft account that you created in step 2.
   
   Example:
   • Gamertag B is now linked to Microsoft account 1.
   • Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 3.
   • Microsoft account 3 is cancelled.

• When you change to a new Microsoft account, the current funds in your original Microsoft account do not transfer to your new Microsoft account.
  
• You can move a gamertag to a different Microsoft account only once every 30 days.
  

• • This includes new gamertags downloaded from Xbox Live.
  • If you try to move a gamertag before 30 days have passed since the last time you moved it, you’ll get the following error message:

Hey DVONvX!

It sounds like your Microsoft account is already tied to another Gamertag. To free up the Microsoft account you want to use, you'll need to first create a third Microsoft account that is not associated with a Gamertag. You can do this over on outlook.com (be
sure not to sign into Xbox.com with this account!). Once the Microsoft account is created, you'll need to wait 30 days, after which you should be able to change the Gamertag that you don't use to this newly created Microsoft account. Once you free up the Microsoft
account, you should be able to change the email associated with your main Gamertag.
