I changed my gamertag and want to change it back to the one i used to have

Unfortunately, since there are multiple people using that tag now, there is no way to change it back to what it was without the suffix.

Hello Silvrsterlng, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If you want to change your Gamertag on Xbox to remove the automatically added numbers and return to "Silvrsterlng", you can follow these steps:

Sign in to your Microsoft account: Go to the official Xbox website https://www.xbox.com/ and make sure you sign in with the account that is associated with your current Gamertag.

Access your profile settings: Once you're logged in, click on your profile or avatar in the top right corner of the page and select "My Profile" from the drop-down menu.

Change your Gamertag: In your profile, look for the "Customize profile" or "Edit Gamertag" option. Depending on the current configuration of the website, you may need to click the pencil icon or a specific link to change your Gamertag. Follow the instructions and provide the new Gamertag you want, in this case "Silvrsterlng".

Check the availability of the new Gamertag: Once you have entered the new Gamertag, the system will check if it is available. If it is available, you will be allowed to change it. If it's not available, you'll need to try a different name until you find one that is available.

Confirm the Gamertag change: After selecting an available Gamertag, you will be asked to confirm the change. Please be sure to read and understand any additional information provided before confirming, as some Gamertag changes may have a cost associated with them.

Please note that some Gamertags may be reserved or unavailable due to Xbox restrictions or policies. If the Gamertag "Silvrsterlng" is not available, you may need to consider alternatives or variations of the name.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards.

But the gamertag that I want to change is my old gamertag. I change my old gamertag on 2 August 2020. I used that old gamertag when I create my Xbox account. At that time, the system allow me to use that gamertag. But when I want to change it back, the system don't allow me to use it. Why is this like that?

I'm trying to change my classic gamertag which is the one you see in games. My classic gamertag got changed and my Xbox One and Xbox App gamertag stayed the same (the Xbox One gamertag is the ones they added with the new gamertag system).

My Xbox One gamertag is different to my in-game gamertag and I want my classic gamertag to be changed. You can only change your classic gamertag on the Xbox One console, I have tried using the other ways and you can only change your Xbox Gamertag, not your
classic gamertag.

The reason I want to change my classic gamertag is that the classic gamertag can be fifteen characters and the Xbox One gamertag can only be 12 characters. If I use the other ways to change my gamertag it limits me to 12 characters and sets both my gamertags
to that.

No, I don't want to change my gamertag. I've got two gamertags. One for Japan and one for the US. Unfortunately, Microsoft won't allow me to change locales with gamertags. My main Microsoft account that I use now in the US is associated with my Japanese
gamertag, and I want to switch it with the US one.
