Windows 10: Transfer Xbox Live Gamertag from my Mom's Microsoft account to my own

Hi,


I created my X-box live gamer tag when I was a teenager under my mom's Microsoft account however now that I'm an adult and living on my own I have my own Microsoft account I'd like to transfer it to so I don't need to bother her every time I need to do something to the account like update payment information. How can I go about doing this?


To be clear, I don't want to just change the email because my mom still uses her account for other things and I already have my own Microsoft account. I need to actually transfer my X-box live gamer tag to my personal Microsoft account.

:)

Microsoft Strips Xbox Live Gamertags of Confirmed Cheaters

Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb wrote on his blog today, that the Xbox Live Gamertags of confirmed cheaters have been corrected. He explained what his team is doing to the accounts of the most serious offenders:

• Resetting the entire Gamerscore for an account to zero
• The account will be unable to regain all previously obtained achievements and Gamerscore, however, the players will have the ability to gain future Achievements by earning them fairly, like the majority of the Xbox LIVE community does.
• The account will be clearly labeled as a cheater for the community to view on xbox.com. In dash, the personal view of the gamercard will be labeled as well.

"Xbox Live remains committed to keeping the service free of cheating in order to maintain a fair and level playing field for everyone," Hyrb wrote. To find out more about Gamerscore corrections read the FAQ on Xbox.com.

Transfer gamertag from one Microsoft account to another without using an Xbox 360

Questions similar to mine are from 2013 and the answer links are no longer valid.

I have the following:

• Microsoft account A with Xbox gamertag A.
• Microsoft account B with Xbox gamertag B.

I do not have the following at this time:

• Access to an XBox
• Access to an XBox 360
• Access to an XBox One

Background:

Microsoft account A was created from an old Hotmail account. The Games for Windows Live account associated with the Hotmail account became my XBox account.

I have since created Microsoft account B to use primarily with Windows 10, Skype, etc. I created XBox gamertag B by mistake because I thought that linking the accounts would be similar to linking my Skype account with Microsoft account B.

Desired end result:

I would like Microsoft account B to be associated with XBox gamertag A. Is this able to be achieved without using an XBox? If so, how?

I am basically reviving this thread:
