I need help getting a gamertag.

My friend has an old xbox account he hasnt used for 10 years, it's gonna be his birthday very soon and I would like to know if it is at all possible? He would like to access it but he made the account a long time ago and doesnt remember the details. If anyone could let me know if its possible?

No, because he would have to go through the recovery process

Also, if he hasn't logged into any Microsoft services in 2 years, the account is likely gone

Hello, Barry. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

I did not understand, my friend. A Xbox profile is part of your Microsoft account. If you created (or changed) a Xbox profile gamertag, it should still be associated with its Microsoft account. Are you sure you are signing in with the correct Microsoft account?

If you created another Xbox profile (besides the one you already had on your old Microsoft account), it got associated with other Microsoft account, since you cannot have two Xbox profiles in one Microsoft account.

If I misunderstood something here, please let me know.

If its deactivated it could be a banned account and that GT will not be made available.

If its an inactive account then the person would need to remove that GT from his account, there is nothing stopping him coming back in some time to use his account again.

Your not going to get it back,especially considering the way you lost it.if it says the tag is unavailable then that's it.

Support would be the only ones who could do anything if possible, but generally there's nothing that can be done unfortunately.
