    Migrating A Gamertag To A New Microsoft Account


    Has anyone migrated a gamer tag to a newly created Microsoft account?

    If so, will my achievements and gamer tag points be moved over as well?

    See this link for info on associating a new Microsoft account with a gamer tag. I am interested in creating a brand new Microsoft account.

    Error 0x8015402d | Microsoft Account Error | Xbox 360 Error

    Thanks!

    Migrating my Gamertag to a new Microsoft Account

    That's what I figured you wanted to do, the only way to do this without the console is by using the link I provided in my previous post. You would follow the instructions under "Übertragen des Gamertags zwischen zwei Microsoft-Konten" in your native language,
    in English it's Switch gamertags between two Microsoft accounts.

    If you don't have a console, it's done by using this link here.

    So to re-cap, you need to follow the instructions listed on the page you linked "Übertragen des Gamertags zwischen zwei Microsoft-Konten" but just visit the page I linked to make the changes if you do not have a console to make these changes on there.

    The Reborn X hey there Migrating A Gamertag To A New Microsoft Account :)

    Everything will carry over with the gamertag. The only thing that will change is the Microsoft Account (email address) that you use to sign in with.

    I hope this helps.

    Many thanks,

    Yeah, the Xbox Live profile (achievements & gamerscore, purchase history, etc) remains exactly the same, you're only changing the email address with which it's associated.

    Gamertag / Account Games Bound

    1. There is no way to merge two gamertags.

    2. Any Microsoft account can only have one gamertag associated.

    3. Migrating a gamertag two a different Microsoft account will take over all digital purchases and subscriptions as they are bounded to the gamertag, not the Microsoft account. Any existing credits will not be transferred as they are bounded to the Microsoft
    account.

    4. When buying a new Xbox 360 the games being purchased with the migrated gamertag will still be available, but you should also consider to have the licenses transferred to the new 360 then. If course there is no transfer of save games possible.

    5. There is a difference in the license models of the 360 and the One. In the 360 digital purchases are bound to the console and the purchasing gamertag. On the One they are primarily bound to the purchasing gamertag. There is no license transferring on
    the One.

    So in summary, there is unfortunately no way to have both gamertags merged. To migrate gamertag 1 into account 2 you have to get rid of gamertag 2 which means the games purchased by gamertag 2 could get lost if not transferred to the new 360 then, purchases
    for the One will be lost anyhow by this. So for the One it would be best to have both accounts installed on the One and have the one set as home console for both accounts, so games purchased by any of the accounts could be played by both of them. For the 360
    the licenses of both gamertags should be transferred to the new 360 so both accounts are able to play them.

    But no merging of the accounts at all.

    I have 2 Email Accounts, both are microsoft accounts and both have xbox one accounts on it.

    Hey there!

    Once a Microsoft Account has a Gamertag associated to it, an Xbox Live Gamertag migration is not possible. Unfortunately in this case that means that your GMX email will not be able to migrate to your Gmail due to it already having an Xbox Live account tied
    to it. The target email must be created with out signing into Xbox.com or an Xbox console. For all information regarding migrating your Xbox Live account to a new email address, please check our

    Change your Xbox Live account email
    address page.

    Hope this helps!
