Gamertag question

[Scythe]

Hi, because i don't have xbox live (yet) I'm running a offline profile called "Mike". If I get live, I doubt "Mike" with be available and I will probably choose my other names. Because I'm got a few achievements racked up, if i get live, will i have to register an new gamertag and lose all my achievements and saves, etc. or can I transfer it to the new tag?

It gives you the option the change the profile name iirc when you register and it says "Mike" is taken

IIRC though i did the following....

Offline profile = "Bob"

created online profile "BobOnline" - renamed Offline profile "BobOnline" and used Recover Gamertag option, once done it updated xbox.com with the achievements.

I think - was some time ago
