    Switch Gamertags associated Microsoft Account


    Hi there,

    I want to switch my old Gamertag to my newer active Microsoft account.

    Little Back Story:

    When I first created my Gamertag (lets call it Gamertag A) like 10 Years ago i used my first Microsoft account (I will from now on refer to it as Email A). But after starting to work i needed a more serious Email, including my real name etc. (Lets call it Email
    B), so I created one.

    After installing Windows 8, years later, I of course used my serious and now active Account Email B. Not realizing that signing into a Windows Machine creates a new Xbox Gamertag (Gamertag B) as well. So I now have 2 Gamertags. One active, with all my purchases linked
    to my dead Email A. And one Useless Gamertag with no purpose whatsoever linked to my active Email B.

    My Question being: How the Heck do I get my Gamertag A linked to my Email B?

    p.s.: I do have access to a Win 10 Machine and a Xbox One if that is necessary.

    BTW: This was posted with my Gamertag B

    :)

    Hi,

    thank you. Sadly I already tried that guide you referred me to. Only getting errors that I can't use a new email which is already bound to a Xbox Tag or other Microsoft Services. I will try reaching out to the Hotline next.

    In the meantime i would like to share another reaaaaaally weird bug(?). When I do not log in and open this thread. My Gamertag in the Post changes from my new to my old gamertag Switch Gamertags associated Microsoft Account o_O

    What all carries over if I migrate my gamertag to a different Live account?

    If you just want to associate your tag with another email address then everything will go with it. All items are associated with the gamertag, not the email address. Here's a link for you to follow on how to switch the email associated with the gamertag.

    Good luck.

    Is it possible to merge two accounts?

    You may do a account swap. What it does, is it takes your gamertag and puts it to the new Microsoft Account you want it associated with.

    Xbox Live gamertags are associated with a Microsoft account for sign-in purposes. If you want to switch your existing gamertag to a different Microsoft account, see Switch a gamertag to another Microsoft account for information about how to do this.
