  1. Move Gamertag from existing Microsoft account to another.


    I've had talks with microsoft support and I can't believe this can't be done due to reserved domains?? When I first started playing games on xbox of course I was only a child but I'm now 22 years old and I can't use/move my old gamertag with/to my current
    up to date email. Instead I have to use a non active email made by my mother years and years ago.

    It's just inconvenient having to log in and out of my computer just to play Microsoft games on my gaming account but then to swap over again to my used account to check emails.

    Thoughts?? Tips? Help?

    :)

  3. How do I move a gamertag to another Microsoft account?

    Hi there,

    my son has created a Microsoft account from a non-existing email, which means it can't be verified. He has used it for a long time, and it's the gamertag he wants.

    I found info online on how to move a gamertag. I've done as suggested: created a new Microsoft account , where I want to move the old gamertag. But the new Microsoft-account creates a new gamertag, so when I want to move the old one to the new account, it
    says I can't move it there because the account is using another gamertag. How do I create an "empty account " where I can move the old gamertag?

    Sorry to hear it.

    It sounds as though you may have accidentally created a gamertag overtop your existing one. Please follow the steps at the link below to move the gamertag you're posting with to another email address. You'll need to create a dummy email to move it to prior
    to following the steps.

    Can't change XBL Email

    If you want to move the existing profile (Let's call that A), you will have to move the profile associated with the e-mail you want (let's call it B) to another e-mail (let's call that C) so that the current one (A) gets moved to e-mail B.

    •If you try to switch your Xbox LIVE gamertag (or Xbox Music tag) from one Microsoft account to a different Microsoft account that's already linked to another Xbox LIVE gamertag, you'll get the following error message:

    The Microsoft account (or Windows Live ID) you’re switching to is already linked to another Xbox account.

    Before you can switch your gamertag in this case, you must first remove the existing gamertag from the Microsoft account you want to use. Here's how:

    1.Consider the following scenario:

    ◦Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.

    ◦Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

    In this scenario, your gamertag is Gamertag B, and you want to move it to Microsoft account 1.

    2.At accounts.live.com, create a new Microsoft account. You'll only need this account as a temporary means of moving your gamertags.

    Example:

    ◦Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.

    ◦Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

    ◦Microsoft account 3 is free.

    3.Switch the gamertag that's linked to the Microsoft account that you want to use to the Microsoft account that you created in Step 3.

    Example:

    ◦Microsoft account 1 is now free.

    ◦Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 2.

    ◦Gamertag A is now linked to Microsoft account 3.

    4.Switch your gamertag to the Microsoft account that you want to use.

    Example:

    ◦Gamertag B is now linked to Microsoft account 1.

    ◦Microsoft account 2 is now free.

    ◦Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 3.

    5.To complete the switch of gamertags between the two original Microsoft accounts, you must wait 30 days. After 30 days, switch Gamertag A from Microsoft account 3 to Microsoft account 2.

    Example:

    ◦Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 1.

    ◦Gamertag A is now linked to Microsoft account 2.

    ◦Microsoft account 3 is now free.

    6.Cancel the Microsoft account that you created in step 2.

    Example:

    ◦Gamertag B is now linked to Microsoft account 1.

    ◦Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 3.

    ◦Microsoft account 3 is cancelled.

    •When you change your Microsoft account, your Microsoft Points are automatically transferred to the new Microsoft account.

    •You can move a gamertag to a different Microsoft account only once every 30 days.

    ◦This includes new gamertags downloaded from Xbox LIVE.

    ◦If you try to move a gamertag before 30 days have passed since the last time you moved it, you’ll get the following error message:

    Sorry, we can't change your Microsoft account right now.

    Moving gamertag from one microsoft account to another

    Hey Obskure

    Thank you for taking the time the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are attempting to move your gamertag from one account to another account.

    As per the
    Microsoft account on Xbox console FAQ
    "Currently, you can't move your services from one Microsoft account to another. This option may be available in the future." This implies that you are unable to move Microsoft domain emails [Hotmail, Outlook,
    MSN, etc.] nor gamertags across accounts.

    When removing an email alias that’s a Microsoft domain, that email is completely deleted from our systems and can no longer be used to send or receive emails. It won’t be available for use again as an alias on another account. Microsoft does not recycle
    email addresses, so it may not be reclaimed at a future time.

    Additionally, gamertags aren't recycled. If you
    change your gamertag
    there is a chance that you wont be able to use it on your new account as it takes some time for those to be released to the public once more.

    I hope this was able to clear up any confusion this might have caused.
