  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?

    :)

    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 .

    My computor recognizes my windows live ID but my xbox won't

    No I'm pretty positive I have the correct login information. I only have one WLID account and the password was the same. I only changed my password once when I tried to access my main Xbox live account

    live.xbox.com/.../Profile
    this is my original gamer tag. Like I said I'm positive the login information I keep trying to put for my original account hasn't changed much.
