    My old gamertag doesn't link to my microsoft account, is there a way to do this?

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello David, the Gamertag is linked to a Microsoft account, if you are logging into the Xbox and another Gamertag appears, it is because it is another account.

    To recover the account that has this Gamertag you have to use the form below, however it is not possible to recover it only with the Gamertag, you need to know your email account.

    Question about recover Old Gamertag

    I am unable to access my old Microsoft account. However when I do a search of Xbox Gamertag's my account is still live. Is there a way to link my old gamertag to a new account?
    Whats the reason you cant access the old Microsoft account? Don't remember the password or what email you used?

    You can try at the link below, but it seems like if you don't at least know what the old email is, I don't think it will be possible.

    Can i put old gamertag on new account?

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this HankGreen1

    Sorry to say but any type of content transfer between Microsoft accounts is not possible.

    If you want to put the old gamertag on a new account you may need to change the gamertag in the old account and then change it on the new account

    **But doing this doesn't guarantee that the gamertag is going to be available, in some cases the servers doesn't show the gamertag as available immediately

    gamertag issues

    Which gamertag is linked to your Microsoft account? The new one or the old one? My guess would be that your old account is still linked to your Microsoft account and you are trying to use the new gamertag but the old one is interfering. Check this link out
