  1. Will previous gamertags be attached with your account?


    I've looked into seeing if I were to change my gamertag, the one I'm using right now would stick to my account so I can change back and it wont be taken.

    I'm assuming it will be to avoid account fraud and have other people pretend to be me. The only things I got from Google were telling me how to move profiles, etc. and I don't quite know where I can find the answer to this is. If there is an answer to this,
    I would much appreciate a link to it.

    :)

    Gamer tag changed for no reason

    You aren't allowed to use sexuality in your gamertag

    It can only be in your bio

    That's it with nothing else attached to it

  4. Will previous gamertags be attached with your account?

    Are you asking, if you change your tag will your old one still be available if you want to change back?

    As far as i am aware once you change your tag your old one is recycled for anyone to use.

    Should you wish to change back, you would have to pay the fee again to get it back as you would no longer own it.

    Gamertag

    If it was the free gamertag change that you did then it would not show in your order history because it there was no charge for it. So that would be the reason that it would not be showing in your order history.

    Have you tried removing your account from the console and readding it to the console to see if it would show the new gamer tag?

    And since this was the new one then it is possible that like the other posters have said that it may take 24 hours for it to show.

    Another thing you can do is contact xbox support by going to support.xbox.com/contact-us and they have the capability to see if what account is attached to the gamertag and if it is your account and if there was any previous gamertags attached to that account.

    If I change my gamer tag will it affect anything my Microsoft account is linked to?

    Changing your gamertag does exactly that, changes your gamertag. The account and everything attached to it remain the same :)

    Error in upgrade account or change prefference

    Hi,

    Do you have a parental account attached to your gamertag? If so, please login to the parental account first.

    If you don't have a parental account attached to your gamertag then try a different web browser and see if you get the same error.
