Conditions that must be met before you can move your Xbox Live profile
Current Microsoft account:
- Funds remaining on the current Microsoft account will not move with your gamertag. You must spend the funds before you can transfer your gamertag.
- The gamertag was not created or changed within the last 30 days. If you try to move a gamertag before 30 days have passed since you created or changed it, you’ll get the error “Sorry, we can’t change your Microsoft account right now.”
- The gamertag has not been moved within the last 30 days. If you try to move a gamertag before 30 days have passed since the last time you moved it, you’ll get the error “Sorry, we can’t change your Microsoft account right now.”
- The current Microsoft account can have an Xbox Live or Xbox Music subscription associated with it, but no other subscription (such as Office 365). Sign in at account.microsoft.com to see if this is the case.
- The current Microsoft account has only one billing account associated with it. If you have ever made purchases in more than one country, have subscriptions such as Office 365, or have bought an app through the Windows Store, you may have more than one billing account. Go to account.microsoft.com to find out.
Target Microsoft account:
The target account cannot have any of the following associated with it:
- An Xbox Live profile
- A gamertag
- A billing account or any subscription of any kind

- OneDrive paid storage
- Any past purchases from the Windows Store
