Can a child account be promoted to adult or no? My account should be and adult account, yet...

In order to chnage settings on th child account you MUST be logged into the parent account. When the child account is 18 years old you can then promote it to an adult account using the instructions posted here:

support.xbox.com/.../promote-child-account

Otherwise if the account is not able to be promoted yet then unless you can get into the parent account you wont be able to change the child account settings until its eligible to be promoted to an adult.

Xbox Live determines whether an account is a child account or an adult account based on the age of the account owner. Child accounts are tied to an adult's Microsoft account.

After you reach the age of adulthood (which varies by country and region), you can promote a child account to an adult account. This promotion can be done only from the parent's account

On the console, you should be able to Promote the account to adult status, regardless of parental account.

I know but I was wondering with the new dashboard update coming soon maybe they will change it so you can change your age or promote to adult account.

[/quote]Why should they let you change your age? Can you change your age in real life?

As for promoting to an adult account. You can promote a child account to an adult account if you are an adult, not a child pretending to be an adult. http://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-live/how-to/online-safety
