  1. I want to use a different Microsoft account for my gamertag on the ONE!! Please help


    I have a different Microsoft account for my OneDrive which is an application on the ONE console. My gamertag has another Microsoft account.

    How can I change my Gamertag Microsoft account to match the One Drive? On the 360 console you can change the account to a different Microsoft Account, why is that option not on the ONE?

    GrandMaw!

    :)

    How to Switch a Microsoft Account to a different Gamertag?

    Seriously, I tried to ask X-Box support for help with this and it got me nowhere fast. The conversation ended with them asking me to please click the End Conversation button. All I want to know is how to get my important Microsoft account (filled with important
    Microsoft Word, Excel, Processing, Power Point, etc.) onto a different Gamertag that I actually use. The current gamertag I use for everything is under an Email I don't use. The Gamertag associated with the Email I always use is Associated with my Microsoft
    account and I don't want that darn thing anymore.

    SO: How do I switch my Microsoft account from one gamertag to another (that I actually USE)?

    Support told me I had to switch the old gamertag to a dummy email to open up my main email for use by my main gamertag. I tried that, but it switched my Microsoft account to the dummy email as well. Well... I kinda need that on my main email. What do I do?
    Is there some step I missed?

    Please. HELP ME. Tell me what must be done.

    Hello,

    At this moment the Xbox One does not yet have that feature. I am sorry for any problems this may cause. The only way you can get your Microsoft account to link is if you login at:
    http://account.live.com/ There you can add your account as aliases. Please click Add or remove Account aliases. Then you can start signing using the new Email. Or you may completely switch the account
    over using a Xbox 360. If your friend or family member has one. However if this is the case your account will need to be downloaded on that Xbox for 30 days before you can switch it over. Please take in note that any Microsoft Currency you have on your account
    will not transfer. Please use the Currency on your account before switching over.

    Thank you!

    Cant Just delete my Xbox live account off of my microsoft account.

    Hi there,

    -

    It sounds like you have gamertag A attached to Microsoft account A, and want to use Microsoft account B for gamertag A, but unwanted gamertag B is tied to it. Is that correct?

    -

    If so, you just need to do a gamertag shuffle with a new email.
    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account
    . once gamertag B associated with the new account (C), then associate gamertag A with the account you want. And have account C deleted/closed.

    -

    If this is more of a complaint in general, and not a support (assistance needed) issue, it really belongs in the Feedback section of the forums here:

    forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx
    .

    -

    I hope this helps. If not, please elaborate more on the help you need so we can best assist.

    Changing Gamertags with a little Twist!

    what i would do is get a few microsoft point cards, change the gamertag of account 1 to a different gamertag, then change the gamertag of account 2 to the one you want. was this helpful?

    Moving my gamer tag from one Live Id to another does not work

    Hi there Shadowgrass! First, it is unwise to post your email address and, especially, your Microsoft Account information as these are public forums. Please make sure to always protect your personal information.

    That said I understand you have two Gamertags and want to swap the Microsoft Account email from one to the other, is that correct? If you haven't already, please make sure you have read and followed the steps found in our "Switch
    a gamertag to another Microsoft account
    " guide.

    If you are stuck somewhere and need further assistance, please let us know how things are setup by using "Gamertag 1" and "MSA 2" as examples for your different accounts. That will make is easier for us to know what's going on and help you out. Thanks!
