If what I'm saying is confusing please do let me know, but I'll try to be as clear as possible :. There's a couple ways to go about it.
Go to Settings , select Account , and then select Account Security. Enter the password for the Microsoft Account that is currently associated with your gamertag, and then select Sign in. Enter the email address and the password for the new Microsoft Account that you want to associate with your gamertag, and then select Sign in. This will free up the new Microsoft Account you've made so that your old Gamertag can be transferred to it, using the same method above. However, you still have to wait 30 days in order to do so.
This however has the unfortunate issue of creating a 60 day wait. So you have to wait the 30 days to transfer to the spare Microsoft Account, and then 30 more days in order to transfer the Gamertag to the existing Microsoft Account you want to use since a Gamertag was just transferred off of it. So I had to wait the 60 days just like everyone else. The reason why it is setup this way is mostly related to internal policy matters that I can't discuss.
Suffice it to say it's intentional, and not a technological barrier. It's there for a good reason, and it's rare that a normal legitimate customer runs into this issue, very rare. Are you saying that you were able to transfer an existing Gamertag to a new Microsoft Account immediately after creating the Microsoft Account?
Matters may have changed from the information I provided in my earlier post then. Transferring to a Microsoft Account less than 30 days old was not supported as of about 2 months ago when I performed this same task, which is why I ask.
I upgraded from Win 8 to Win 8. I never created an account and don't want one. I can't figure out how to sign out and can't figure out how to delete this account. Any hints?

Accounts cannot be merged. Each Microsoft account can only have one gamertag or Xbox Live profile attached to it. If you logged in to the Account settings page on Xbox. Xbox users can now have the same Gamertag as somebody else , sort of. Xbox Live has around 66 million members, there is a maximum of 26x36x36 three-letter GTs available Therefore one in every gamertags would have to be 3 lettered in order for them all to be taken.

Problem with my Live Account : My Live account is pretty old, around 10 to 12 years and probably while registering I did not properly choose the country option and Microsoft does not allow to change country option, probably for Billing reasons.
Choosing what is Important : Using another Live Account was the only option which has country set as my country, India. What I wanted to do I knew that I will loose all my points anyways but I did not wanted to use another live account either.
Once done, all your points, gamer points etc will be transferred to the new live account. The association was completely removed and Now I can use my current live account to start fresh instead of doing it with new account with all advantages of Gold Membership, buying games etc.
