After you download and install it, open it up and you'll get a randomly assigned username.
After you do that, go to the link above ^. Change your gamertag to whatever you want your MW10E username to be. Claim the gamertag. At this point, you should be logged into xbox, if not, log in. Once you're logged in, log out and log back in. Make sure you have MW10E closed. Then re-open it up and it should change to whatever you changed your gamertag to.

i can sometimes open it fast enough to be able to type something but it disappears before im able to press "done" and if i am able to press done it just greys the box out again with the old name..... seriously? facepalm.
NOTE: If you have an Xbox Live account already and you've changed the name before, you will have to pay to change the name as you only get 1 free name change.

Someone took my username already :/ Can't think of a new one
i feel your pain, i think its dumb that it uses our microsoft info instead of our mojang info to determine anything, especally username.
RealFlow?? dude I got RashAsh but IMMEDIATELY changed it
I dont have an xbox console sorry.
Thank you very much!
You don't need an xbox (I don't have one either) just an account

its a pretty upsetting money grab to charge for a name change. it really shows a lot about Microsoft.
changes the xbox username but when i log back in to Minecraft windows 10 it is still the other one.
Followed tutorial..did not think it worked. I logged in later to play and my name changed to my new gamer tag. Thanks DataCrusader.
Wow thanks it really helped!
Windows 10 has an xbox app, or just go online.
Everyone: just google "change your xbox live gamertag". (You can also google "change your Minecraft gamertag").
As noted above, you only get 1 free change, so make it count.
But how do I log out of XBOX?
