It worked apparently if you started with an xbox live account and wanted to move to PC as well. If you started with a games for windows live account and wanted to go to xbox, no joy - you had to create a second account.
So thats how I ended up with two separate microsoft accounts, borne out of what was originally a gfwl account and an xbox account.
It was terrible, at least in the 360 era.

I’m talking about Series X. It’s seamless.
I never even tried in the 360 days.
