    Optons for moving Gametag to different Microsoft account


    I have a well established Microsoft account with O365 subscription and email address which I don't want to lose.

    When I was got an Xbox last year I thought I was connecting a new gamertag to this account, however it looks like I missed an "L" from my surname and it's gone off and created an entirely new Microsoft account for me.

    I've managed to connect both email addresses into the outlook desktop client and discovered where all my game update mails have been going for the last year. - i can see mail for both accounts now.

    But I'm stuck with all my MS account data on my "real" MS account which has an unused gamertag; and my X-Box game data on a gamertag linked to an MS Account I've only just become aware of.

    All articles on the MS Support pages indicate I can't merge them, if I've understood it correctly. is this right?

    And if so, might it be an upgrade Microsoft are planning to introduce in the future?

    Another question - what happens if I get any x-box gift cards for Christmas? these will naturally go to the email address everyone knows, not the miss-spelled one. can they be transferred between accounts if the accounts can't be combined?

    Any help greatly appreciated,

    Thanks,

    :)

    Looks like you found a glitch in the system.

    It's possible to remove this gametag from my Microsoft's account, so I can move, via console, another gametag to this Microsoft's account?

    Gametag transfer to a different microsoft account

    Hey there Ghost thanks for taking the time to bring this inquiry to us.

    We understand the frustration this may cause but rest assured we are here to help. We suggest (if it hasn't already been done) to look into what is known as a

    Microsoft Account Alias
    as this can change the way you sign in and show up to recipients by adding aliases to the existing Microsoft account. An alias is like a nickname for the account that can be an email address, phone number, or Skype name. It uses
    the same inbox, contact list, and account settings as the primary alias. Go ahead and check it out and let us know how it goes!

    Can not transfer my game tag to another email

    I have the same problem. Says the same thing to me. I want to transfer my gametag that I use to account that is linked to my windows phone. The problem is that I accidentally made an unwanted gametag to that account. So I made new account to move the unwanted
    gametag to so I can change the good gametag to my WP account.

    but when I try to change the GT it says the same error message as it says to outrunhook. What shall I do?

    move gamertag to different Microsoft account?!?!

    it is still possible to do, but would be a pain.

    you would have to sign into the account with the email that you "want" to use for your account at
    https://login.live.com and then close it out, by clicking on security and password (you might get prompted to verify and email or phone number) then scrolling to the bottome and clicking close account, follow
    those prompts. due to the email that you want to use is an outlook, which is Microsoft controlled, you will then need to close all that out and sign into your email. it takes 60 days to completely close the Microsoft account attached to that email. once it
    has closed, you can then try to use it to do the swap.

    NOTE: If you have purchased anything under the gamertag that is associated with the outlook Microsoft account, you will loose it. there is no way to merge accounts to keep that stuff.
