Im creating a new account, I've made the Microsoft account and while adding to Xbox it requesting me to create gamer tag(I'm using Xbox app, android) if I choose one of the 4 default ones, will i be able to change it later on?? Cuz last time I made a custom tag while creating account and my friend choose default, he was able to change it later on and i wasn't. It was quite long back. I want to know if it's still available and I can change becoz I don't wanna grind under a name of not my choice. I'm not sure for a name so I wanna change it later on, that's the reason I'm asking. I do own any of the Xbox passes, I'm a free user.

Yes, you get 1 free gamertag change to set your new name.

If you're ever given a choice to type something in and use it, you won't have a free change afterwards. If you have to pick a default gamertag, you should be able to change for free afterwards.
