    Xbox Gamertag and Microsoft Account Switching


    To be quick about it, over a decade ago when I was like 11, my parents bought me XBLive and we set up an account under their microsoft account. I'm now 23 and unfortunately am still under that account, despite having my own. Now that I have a new PC and
    am having to use a MS account for quite a few things related to xbox, I'm finding it very irritating having to sign into an account that is not mine, as the password is constantly changing, and I have no privacy as to what I buy.

    I have a very large library of games and hundreds if not thousands of hours put into them, and I'd prefer to not get rid of all of that progress and time put in. I would prefer to not be having to ask my mother every other week what her new password is.

    Is there really no way that I could move my Gamertag to a different Microsoft account? It seems like a poor move to keep people from doing that, as I'm sure I'm not the only person in my situation. I'm hoping there's someway to do it as, I can't see a reason
    as to why you wouldn't be able to do something like that.

    :)

    Switch gamertags between two Microsoft accounts

    If you try to switch your Xbox LIVE gamertag to a Microsoft account that is already linked to another gamertag, you will receive a message that says “the Microsoft account (or Windows Live ID) you’re switching to is already linked to another Xbox account.”

    Before you can switch your gamertag in this case, you must first remove the existing gamertag from that Microsoft account:

    1.Create a new Microsoft account. You will only need this new account as a temporary means of moving your gamertags. After the gamertags have been switched, you will no longer need this Microsoft account.

    Example:

    Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.

    Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

    To swap gamertags A and B between Microsoft accounts 1 and 2, first create a third temporary account: Microsoft account 3.

    2.Switch the gamertag that is linked to the Microsoft account you want to use to the new temporary account you have just created.

    Example:

    Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 1.

    Switch gamertag B to Microsoft account 3.

    Microsoft account 2 is now free.

    3.Now switch your gamertag to the Microsoft account you want to use.

    Example:

    Switch gamertag A to Microsoft account 2.

    Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 3.

    Microsoft account 1 is now free.

    4.To complete the swap of gamertags between the two original Microsoft accounts, you must wait 30 days. (A gamertag can be switched only once every 30 days.)

    Example:

    Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 2.

    After 30 days, switch gamertag B to Microsoft account 1.

    Microsoft account 3 is now free and no longer needed.
