Signing into an old account.

If the account hopefully isn't old and unused enough to have been closed automatically, then the account recovery tool may be the best bet for you to use. Without knowing the email, it makes it really hard to recover lost accounts... it is possible though
with some elbow grease.

Here's that: https://account.live.com/acsr

Yeah, its just unfortunate that it was a secondary account with not much on it for significant information. I used it in competitive games to play with my not so competitive friends.

Hi there Nasal ,

You should be able to simply sign out of the account that you are using and then sign in again with the old account's details and that should let you use your old account.

If a game redemption code was used on the old account then the only way to play it on the new account would be to sign in with the old account then switch to the new account.

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.
