    How to convert and manage existing xbox account - xbox family


    Hi there,

    I'm getting confused with something and i'm hoping someone could help clarify for me.

    Originally my son set up an account on xbox and games have been purchased on that account. What I'd like to do is now manage his account with xbox family to mainly set time limits. I'm not sure how to do this as he said he'd lose all the games he's purchased, in app purchases, progress etc i.e. NBA 2K

    Is it possible to somehow convert and manage his account without losing all of this? I just couldn't figure it out entirely myself.

    Thanks and regards

    :)

    No. Only child accounts can be managed that way if he created an adult account, it can't be converted to a child account. He'd have to create a new account in order to do so and nothing can be transferred between accounts.

    Hello

    You can easily convert an existing Xbox LIVE Gold membership, or you can sign up for a new Xbox LIVE account and Gold Family Pack membership.

    How do I convert an existing Xbox LIVE Gold Membership?

    When you switch your membership to a Gold Family Pack membership, all content, Microsoft Points, scores, and achievements associated with your gamertag are preserved. Here's how to do it.

    Notes

    • To sign up for a Gold Family Pack membership, you must be of adult age in your country (18 or older in the United States). The legal adult age varies by country and region.
    • If you’re on the Xbox 360 Entertainment For All Plan, you’re not eligible for a Family Pack for the life of the Plan.
    1. Sign in to the Xbox LIVE account that you want to be the primary account holder for your Gold Family membership.
    2. Go to Settings, and then select Account.

    1. Scroll right and select Gold Family.
    2. Follow the on-screen instructions. You will get a discount on your Gold Family Pack membership based on how many months remain on your existing Gold Membership.
