When I log in to my existing MS account, my xbox gamertag is wrong

That is the account that I used to make the purchase. OK, if I log in to my MS account, that account has the purchase history, if I then switch over to my Xbox profile, staying in the MS account. That is the same profile that appears when I log in, for the refund process! It's the same account!!!

Is that the issue, that my MS account is linked with the wrong Xbox profile, do I have another mysterious Xbox profile that I don't know about?

Hello! I have a problem with Xbox account gamertag. Some time ago I had Microsoft and Xbox accounts. I deleted my Microsoft account about 1 year ago but my Xbox account gamertag is still exist and I can't register new account with using same Xbox
gametag. Can I somehow claim this gamertag again? My current Microsoft account is registered on same email address from same PC as my previous Microsoft account. I know they can't restore Microsoft account after 60 days but can they release my previous Xbox
gamertag to use it for my new Xbox account?

You do realize that deleting an ms account doesn't actually free up your name right?

It can take up to 5 years from when you last login

It probably wouldve been alot faster to do it the proper way

Change the name on the account holding it

Wait a couple months or maybe instant

Then change the name to the one you want

Now if you deleted the ms account because its permanately banned well you can never get that name account

Xbox accounts aren't the same as ms accounts

Ms accounts are for billing and logging in

They aren't your xbox account

I have this same issue. I have:

a) an Xbox which has never been online and ...

b) a pre-existing MS account (which has never been associated with an Xbox account).

(I know they're all merged now, but I'm using the names 'Xbox' vs. 'MS' for clarity). Am I to understand the steps to merge them are as follows:

1. On my acutal XBox device, I make the offline Xbox account into Online Xbox Live account (using the gamertag I want)

2. Somewhere (don't know where), I change the MS account associated with my newly-created gamertag/Xbox account to my pre-existing MS account.

Does this sound right? Where is step 2 done? On my Xbox or on my desktop? I read the following link, but it's not exactly the situation described here:

support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account.

Of course, it would be ideal if an offline account could just be directly linked to a pre-exisiting MS account.

My main problem is that when I try to log in, is it says that account doesn't exist. But my account exist as I can see it in the friends list of my other account.
