How to Make a Second Modded Gamertag With a USB Flash Drive

A gamertag is like a nickname on Xbox Live. When you sign up for Xbox Live, you are asked to provide a unique user name. That will become your gamertag once you create the account. Gamertags can only be changed once for free. So if you picked a wrong name, misspelled it or simply like another name, you must modify the Xbox Live profile to change the gamertag a second time. In Windows, you can use the only tool available -- EzGt 2.2. It is completely free and you just need a FAT32 USB flash drive to use it.
