    Transferring gamertag from one Microsoft Account to the other on XBOX ONE


    I have found numerous places that show how to transfer the gamertag on the XBOX 360 to a different Microsoft account but I can't find anything regarding the XBOX ONE. Does anyone know how to transfer it on this console?

    :)

    What do you mean? You can't transfer gamer tags to different Microsoft Accounts because your gamer tag IS your account.

    If you mean getting your gamer tag on an Xbox One, you just sign in. It's simple, and easy, and one of the first things the Xbox One asks you to do when you turn it on for the first time.

    ^^My guess is he has 2 different emails and wants a certain GT associated with a certain email. To be completely honest you can do it via the web but its a pain and you would be better off just adding an Alias to your existing account like I did. Go to
    http://account.live.com and login with your email and password and just click on add alias. Thats the easiest non hassle way of going about things.

    Transferring gamertag from one Microsoft Account to the other

    Hi,

    No, there is no way to do this via the web, and there is no possibility to go around that 30days wait time.

    This is a security measure to prevent people (like hackers/phishers) quickly changing the details.

    Transferring gamertag from one Microsoft Account to the other

    Hello paperiwnt! The 30 day requirement is only when a Gamertag has just been linked to a Microsoft account, either by, changing a Microsoft Account on an existing Gamertag, or on a newly created Gamertag. You should be fine to download your existing Gamertag
    to your console and changing it from there with out having to wait for 30 days by following these steps. I hope this helps!

    Can I switch my gamertag to a different Microsoft account?

    You can change the Microsoft account that is associated with your Xbox LIVE gamertag. Here’s how:

    1. Sign in using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.
    2. Go to Settings and select Account.

    [table][tr][td][td][​IMG][/td][/tr][/table]

    1. Scroll right to Your Information and select Account Security.
    2. Select Change Windows Live ID. (Your Windows Live ID is your Microsoft account.)
      Do one of the following:
      • If you have another Microsoft account, select Yes.
      • If you do not have another Microsoft account, go to
        accounts.live.com
        and click Sign up. After you have another Microsoft account set up, select
        Yes and continue with the next step.
    3. Enter the password for the Microsoft account that is currently associated with your gamertag, and then select
      Sign in.
    4. Enter the email address and the password for the new Microsoft account that you want to associate with your gamertag, and then select
      Sign in.
    5. Select Yes, change to change the Microsoft account associated with your Xbox LIVE account.
    6. Select Update Contact Information to update your contact information or
      Done to finish.
    Notes

    • When you change your Microsoft account, your Microsoft Points are automatically transferred to the new Microsoft account.
    • You can make only one Microsoft account change for a given gamertag every 30 days.
    • You must also wait 30 days after your gamertag is downloaded from Xbox LIVE before you can switch that gamertag to a different Microsoft account. If 30 days have not passed since the gamertag was downloaded, you’ll get an error message.
    • Before you can change the Microsoft account associated with a child account, you must provide the Microsoft account information for the adult account that has parental control.
    • You can choose to require input of your Microsoft account password to sign in to Xbox LIVE. For more information on how to do this, see
