If you get this message and error code, it means that there’s a gamertag already associated with your Microsoft account.

To resolve this problem, download your current profile. To do this, follow these steps.

Note If you want to use a different profile and gamertag with the current Microsoft account, you must download the current profile and then change the Microsoft account that is associated with the profile.

1. On your computer, click Sign in in the upper-right corner of any Xbox.com page (such as this one).
2. Sign in by using your Microsoft account and password. After you sign in, you’ll see the gamertag associated with your Microsoft account in the upper-right part of the screen.

4. On your Xbox 360 controller, press the Guide button, and then press X to sign out.

5. Press the Guide button again and select Download Profile.
6. Follow the instructions to enter your Microsoft account and password to complete the download.
