How can I change my Gamertag?
I made an Xbox Account and I set my Bio and Moto and other stuff, but I logged in using my Outlook account and it automatically generated "ThirstyBench414" as my Gamertag.
How can I modify it? I am using Windows, and not an Xbox.

According to this page, "you can easily change your Xbox Live gamertag. If your gamertag was created for you during your initial Xbox Live sign-up (meaning you did not choose your gamertag), you can change the gamertag one time for free."
To do this using a web browser (on PC):
- In a web browser, go to
Change gamertagat account.xbox.com (shown in image, below). - Sign in using the Microsoft account email address and password associated with your gamertag.
- Enter your new gamertag and click
Check Availability. - Once you find an available gamertag that you want, click
Claim it!(You only get one free claim, so be sure)

Answer 2
I tried and it didn't work. The html div with the submit to actually change it is hidden.
So I changed the hidden div but that didn't work either. The redirect is to the profile page and the gamertag is still the same, even after signing in again.
