Enter your password. Once you submit the information your Gamertag will automatically link to your Xbox One.

Transferring Gamertag with Portable Storage Device

Make sure your Xbox 360 is turned on. If it isn't press the power button and wait for the main screen to load. Connect your USB/portable device in one of the ports located on the console.

Navigate to the "Storage" settings. You will need to choose "Settings," and then select "System." "Storage" will be an option that appears in the System menu.

Select your gamer profile. You can choose the gamer profile you would like to copy onto the USB device by accessing "All Devices," and then selecting "Profiles."

Copy the profile to the portable device (USB or memory unit). Once you've selected the gamer profile you want to move, select "Move," and select the memory unit you want to move it to. Moving the gamertag from the console will permanently delete it - you can re-establish it by connecting the USB device again and following the prompts.

Finish the transfer. Once the profile is finished copying, remove the USB device. Connect it to the new console and follow the same process to download it.
