Microsoft Account not Associated with my Gamertag

Ocamm1 · Apr 2, 2017

I just bought an Xbox one and it asked for my Microsoft account log in upon initial boot up. It randomly generated a gamer tag for me. I have an existing gamer tag that apparently isn't associated with my Microsoft account. I need help integrating the two

Change the Microsoft account that my gamertag (XboxLive) is associated to.

Hi barretjones

I'm not interested in changing my mail. My question is about changing the microsoft account associated with my gamertag on xbox live. I wan't to associate my sons microsoft account with the gamertage on my Microsoft account. But thanks anyways...

You will need to log in with the Microsoft account that has that gamertag registered already. Here's an article about
adding and removing accounts on the Xbox One.

Since you apparently just created that generated gamertag, there shouldn't be anything worth losing.

Hi TK,

Technically transfers cannot be do but you can change the email address associated with a microsoft account.

In order to associate the gamertag with another account you will need to create a whole account with an email address and then do the following to associate the gamertag to that account. How
to change the email address associated with your Microsoft account

Hey dR3K0b!

Gamertags are tied to a Microsoft account, so changing the email address associated with the Microsoft account will also change the email address associated with that gamertag. There's a guide on

how to change the email address associated with your Microsoft account that can help walk you through that process.

Each 360 account can be associated with a Live account.

Currently I have:

old 360 account -> associated with my Live account but with the old gamertag

new 360 account -> associated with my Live account but with the new gamertag

The new account got created when I downloaded my profile using my microsoft sign in. The old account was associated with the same microsoft sign in but it didn't recognize my gamertag change. Now it won't let me sign in to live because it asks for my microsoft
sign in details. I'm guessing the sign in fails because it's trying to find the microsoft account associated with the old gamertag.

I either need to somehow transfer my saves over to the new 360 account so I can upload them to the cloud, or I need someway for my Xbox to realize that my gamertag changed on the old account so I can sign into live again with that account.

Hi Michael,

"6. Enter the password for the Microsoft account that is currently associated with your gamertag and select Sign in."

I cannot proceed past this step, as I don't have the password to the Microsoft account associated with my gamertag.

Thanks though
