    transfer gamer tag to new Microsoft account?!


    So I want to simply transfer my gamer tag to another Microsoft account but I've run into this online:

    <<

    The target Microsoft account cannot have a billing account or non-Xbox subscription associated with it. (Examples include Office 365, OneDrive paid storage, and past purchases at the Windows Store.)

    >>

    What is the reason behind this? I have an Office 365 subscription that is linked to the account that I want to transfer to, so am I completely blocked? THIS MAKES NO SENSE?! Why doesn't Microsoft allow a simple transfer?!

    :)

    I want my Xbox account and gamer tag deleted from my Microsoft account

    Not moved to a new account, not my Microsoft account deleted, just my gamer tag. Has Microsoft figured out this daunting task of engineering? Or do I still need a 360 to transfer (not delete) my gamer tag to a new, unused Microsoft account?

    Sorry to hear that you're having issues transferring the account. As you can see by the link below it is true that you cannot have another billing account associated with it.

    I'm not entirely sure why this is. Perhaps you could try posting to @xboxsupport on Twitter or contact Phone Support for your region for more information on that barrier.

    I want to move my digital content and gamertag to a new Microsoft Windows account.

    On the contrary to what the others have mentioned changing the Microsoft account associated to the gamer tag automatically transfers all Microsoft Points and purchases, ETC to the new Microsoft account.

    Xbox Gamertag

    If you want the gamer tag you can change the Microsoft accounts around. However you will lose all achievements etc from the other account. You'll need to make a new email with Microsoft transfer your old profile to that one then transfer your old email to
    the new profile with the desired GamerTag. Otherwise you'll need to change the gamertag on the account with the gamer tag you want then change it to the gamer tag you want on the account you primarily use. Changing your GamerTag costs $10 per switch. So all
    and all it'll cost you $20. Good luck my friend.

    I see the problem here....

    If your son has been playing on your account, then I'm afraid it's impossible to transfer the gamer-tag over. If you have created a new account for him to use under your account, then he will have to start again with a new one. All the game progressions
    will also need to be started from scratch.

    You could try changing your own gamer-tag so it with free it up for him to use, but you still won't be able to transfer anything else.

    You see, the details follow the Microsoft Account, not the gamer-tag.

    Sorry....
