    Why is moving my Gamertag so hard?


    It has been almost a year since I decided to move my Gamertag to a new Microsoft account and I don't feel like I have made any progress. I have tried at least a dozen times, but my own account is sealed off like Fort Knox. It shouldn't be this hard. It should
    never be this hard. Most websites take less than 5 minutes to change account Email addresses. I understand that, this is meant to help keep my account secure so no one takes it. At this point, it's so secure, I can't change the freaking Email, and I own the
    account! I don't care if I have to go show Bill Gates himself my Birth Certificate to prove I exist and that I own the account, I want to change Microsoft Accounts. There has to be some requirement that's working against me, I want around. I just don't care
    about what I could be losing, if anything. I have never had so much trouble changing an email address before. I will continue to pester support every day with a forum post until this issue is RESOLVED. Not when someone responds, but when my Gamertag gets from
    Email A to Email b.

    :)

    Hey there Hero. Please review the Transfer Your Gamertag to Another Microsoft Account
    article for information regarding moving your gamertag to another microsoft. That article will explain why you're getting that error. Why is moving my Gamertag so hard? :)

    I read that before posting. It doesn't tell me why it's showing the error.

    You know, maybe "pester" was a bad choice of words. I just really want this issue solved. I mean it really has been almost a year. I didn't embellish that. So, Xbox Support, please help and disregard that "pester" thing. This is the only post I'll need.

  5. Hello,

    I don't consider you pestering people, you just want to sort out your issue, and I want to help you get as much information about switching Microsoft Accounts between gamertags through the console

    As you know where to navigate to on the forums I will just skip to the full requirements.

    1. Your gamertag must be on your console for a minimum of 30 days

    2. Your chosen e-mail address to switch to must be registered for 30 days or more

    Here is the mislead part:

    * during the 30 days that your gamertag has to be on the console, at any point within those 30 days you decide to recover your account. That 30 day timer is reset and the process must start again.

    Encase you do not know the path to change the e-mail through the console, it is located at Account > Account Security > Change Microsoft Account

    To ensure your issue to be resolved, all requirements must be.met, and as you mentioned its ll is just a security measure. Please keep me updated on your outcome Why is moving my Gamertag so hard? :)

    Regards,

    Dan

    Can I change the e-mail account I associate with my Gamertag?

    I tried this and get error messages. When I first set up the e-mail to move it to (which was about 1.5 years ago), it got a whole new gamertag for some reason. So, I set up a brand new account with no gamertag in order to move the one associated with that
    e-mail to and 3rd e-mail so I could then move my gamertag to the e-mail I had set up 1.5 years ago. When I try to move that gamertag, I get an error saying it couldn't perform the operation right now and to check the support page I was already using for my
    instructions. Whats up with this and why won't it disassociate this random gamertag from the e-mail I want to have my real gamertag?

    Question regarding License Transfer.

    Okay, I just transferred license for my current gamertag then. So Does this mean I should delete and can't play any of the extra Games on Demand Games that moved from my old hard drive to my slim?

    NEW service idea.

    The gamertag system is also in use on other services. So even if it was never moved to the 360/One, it could be in use elsewhere. Because of this, it's hard to tell if a gamertag is actually in use or not so a system like that would still not work very well.
