  1. When a 2nd Xbox profile/ gamertag is created, Is there any way to replace or change or link...


    My son created a 2nd gamer tag & profile on XBOX different from the original one that is associated with our Microsoft account & Epic Games. Now, whenever I try to upload a Fortnite V bucks card, it automatically sends me to Microsoft.com to upload the gift card and puts the Vbucks on the original account/gamertag (which he doesn't use at all). Is there any way to replace or change the Xbox profile on the Microsoft account with the one that he uses daily??

    :)

    When a 2nd Xbox profile/ gamertag is created, Is there any way to replace or change or link the Xbox profile on the Microsoft account with the one that he uses daily??

    Hello Jaquila,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Yes, there is a way to replace or change the Xbox profile in your Microsoft account to the one you use daily. To do this, you must follow these steps:

    Sign in to your Microsoft account on the web.
    Click "My Account."

    In the "Personal Information" section, click "Profile."

    Click "Edit" next to the profile you want to use as your primary profile.

    In the "Primary Profile" section, select "Yes."

    Click "Save."

    Once you have completed these steps, the profile you have selected will become your main profile. This means it will be the profile used to sign in to Xbox Live, access your games and apps, and purchase content.

    In your child's case, this means that if they load a Fortnite Vbucks card, the Vbucks will be deposited into the profile you have selected as the primary profile.

    These are basic solutions to these problems, but they can lead to a solution, remember that this is a public forum where we are players like you who want to help, good luck and happy day.

    Sincerely,
    Marvina.

    Swapping email accounts

    When you sign into an account with no gamertag on xbox.com or your console you will be prompt with a message "To create an Xbox profile--> New Gamertag" Most likely you accepted the terms with your new email. Next time cancel the process or do not sign
    on to xbox.com or your console at all after you have created a new account. I recommend you create the account online rather than on the xbox.

    Step 1) Create a new account. Do not sign into Xbox.com or the console with this account.or it will prompt you to create a new profile(gamertag).

    Here is the overview after completing step 1.

    • Gamertag A (Main Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 1 (Old Email).
    • Gamertag B (2nd Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 2 (2nd Email)
    • Microsoft account 3 is free. (new email)
    Step 2) Sign on to xbox with your main account. Change the email associated with the NEW ACCOUNT

    • Gamertag A (Main Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 3 (new Email).
    • Gamertag B (2nd Gamertag) is linked to Microsoft account 2 (2nd Email)
    • Microsoft account 1 is free. (old email )
    You should be done at this point.

    Please refer to this guide

    If you create an offensive or inappropriate Gamertag, it will be replaced with a new automatically-generated Gamertag doesn't matter for how long you had it.

    A forced Gamertag change now automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the account, much in the same way a system-generated Gamertag is provided when you first sign up for Xbox Live.

    If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the

    standard Gamertag change process

    Child Account to Adult Account?

    Changing the birthday on the accounts.live.com page does not change the age/birthday of your Xbox live account. Also there is no way to transfer dlc to a new gamertag.

    To the opener, when you first sign into any EA games online with your Xbox profile it asks you to create an EA account which it links to your gamertag. If you're sure that the age on your xbox live account is correct it might be a problem with the birthday
    of the EA account.

    Gamer Tag

    You can easily change your Xbox gamertag. If you want to change the gamertag that we created for you when you first signed up for Xbox (meaning you didn’t choose it yourself), you can change it one time
    for free. After that, all Xbox gamertag changes cost extra.

    If you created your own gamertag at signup and want to change it, you’ll be charged (fee varies by region and currency).
