  1. I can't have my original Gamertag on my main account with the gamepass


    I made a xbox account when i first used Minecraft Win10 edition, with my original gamertag.

    Recently when i wanted to buy game pass, i couldn't buy it with that account. So i had to make a new one.

    I made my account and wanted to change its gamertag to the one I always use, but now it has those number after it.

    So now I'm stuck playing my game pass games with this gamertag with the numbers.

    If I change my old account's name, my minecraft name would change, and I don't want that.

    Also i already used the ''free name change'' on my 2nd account while trying to change it to my gamertag.

    Is there any way that I can swap my names, or maybe transfer the game pass to the other one so I have the correct name?

    If you are confused it's like this:

    Account A: MyName / has minecraft

    Account B: MyName#1234 / has xbox game pass

    Is there a solution?

    :)

    I can't have my original Gamertag on my main account with the gamepass

    Hey Jebediah

    Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently inquiring about switching your Gamer tag with another account, or transferring your subscription.

    For as per the
    Gamertag update FAQ
    , the reason why there are numbers on the end of your Gamer tag is due to someone else using the same tag. In order to prevent confusion, this is why those numbers were added.

    Additionally,
    any services you have on different Microsoft accounts cannot be combined nor transferred
    . The only other way to get these services on the account of your prefrence, would be to purchase them once more there.

    Keep note that Gamertags are not recyclable, and that changing one does not guarantee being able to use on another account.

    I hope this was able to clarify any confusion this might have caused.

    Change microsoft account for Xbox gamertag

    that's not good , I thought there would have been a way to do this. Everything apart from my xbox gamertag is linked to my main MS account and it's a bit of a pain having to switch to the old ms account just for the xbox when I have everything else on my
    main ms account.

    It's not really been a problem for me over the years but I've just been getting a windows 10 laptop and have to keep switching accounts and keep getting signed out when trying to play gamepass stuff on it as my ultimate gamepass is linked to my old ms account
    and not the one I've got my windows or office registered with,

    I don't want to lose almost 13 years of achievements or game purchases so don't want to change gamertag , my ultimate gamepass is valid till next year as well .

    How would I find a Microsoft account using only the gamertag

    So I first made a Microsoft account to play Minecraft on my PlayStation 4 in 2018. After doing this the Microsoft account then asked for me to verify it but since the account was originally wrong the verification code was sent to the wrong email. Now whenever I try to log into a different email I’m told to log into the email that was originally connected but since it’s not my email I can not get into it to disconnect it. Since then I decided to make a new Microsoft email and connect it to a different PlayStation account. One being only for Minecraft and one being the main account I use. After trying to send an invite to my main account from the Minecraft one it show that a Microsoft account and gamertag is connected to my main account. So how would I be able to find and disconnect said Microsoft account from my main PlayStation account.
    You wouldn't be able to with only the gamertag.

    That being said even if you could unlink the old Microsoft account from your main PSN account, Sony will not let you link a different Microsoft account afterwards.

    Sony will only let you relink the original Microsoft account that was first linked.
