    Switching Xbox gamertags between accounts


    I've been using my dad's microsoft account from the start of me playing games. But he has a lot of sensitive info on that account and would like me to stop using it. Is there a way to switch game data from his account to this one? Even just the gamertag
    would be great. Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Have you moved it within the last 30 days if so you can only move once every 30. That may be what your running into

    It has not been moved or even used. I just made the Microsoft account 2 days ago. Could it be because its not 30 days old yet, maybe?

    That would be exactly why. Give it another 28 days, and then try again.

    Referencing the link you provided:

    "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."

    Have you tried doing this more than once in 30 days?

    Switching Gamertag Between Accounts

    you cant simply transfer a gamertag from one microsoft account to another, it is the microsoft account that holds all the info regarding purchases etc etc.

    when you create a new microsoft account it automatically creates a new gamertag with a random name.

    you can add a new email address to your existing microsoft account as an alias and even make that the primary email.
