Merging an Email with an automated generated Gamertag with an already existing gamertag

Hi War,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. I'm sorry to inform you the option to transfer/merge Gamertag, saved data, achievements and any/or game purchases from one account to another Microsoft Account will not be possible. We currently do not have
an available feature. The one step we have available is changing the primary email on
the Microsoft account. You can however set up home console on
your main profile. Note: If you choose to remove an alias that uses a Microsoft domain such as @hotmail.com, @outlook.com, or @live.com, that alias will be completely deleted and will not be available to
sign in to any Microsoft services. A Microsoft and Xbox account are one and the same. As there is nothing more I will be locking this thread.





Hope this helps.

Brad

It could have been an automated name that was randomly generated by the system for your Gamertag. If you signed up for a Microsoft account, or signed up for a Microsoft email address, it could have assigned you a Gamertag like this automatically.

Hi there,

No, you can't merge a local profile with an already existing Xbox Live account, it is only possible to 'upgrade' that local profile to a new Xbox Live account. If you want to do that see the steps on this link:

support.xbox.com/.../offline-profile-to-gamertag

you can change the email of a gamertag but you cannot merge them.

With the recent gamertag update, you can get a gamertag even though it is already taken https://support.xbox.com/my-account/manage-gamertag-and-profile/gamertag-updates-faq

Otherwise, even though it may appear inactive on the Xbox, the tag system is in use on other Microsoft services and may be in use elsewhere. There is no way to take a tag that is already in use.
