  1. Can I change my account's age setting?


    In order to install the halo infinite tech preview I've been trying to register as an xbox insider but I can't launch the app on the account I want to because its set to a child account, is this a problem with my account or the email I used to create it with?

    "Teen" to "Adult" privacy settings

    Is there any way you can change your age on your account so I can change my privacy setting ?

    Manage my child's profile info

    Alright done that, I also power cycled the Xbox after doing so. It still gives me the error "a child account can't change these settings" as outlined above

    As additional info I can link my social accounts to my Xbox account and we now have the same Xbox settings. Something to do with age possibly? I have changed his age restrictions to any age already without success.

    nope changing the age or your account nor the email age will wokr

    It is set when you originally created the xbox live account and can never be changed you can only promote when it's of age

    Change the age in account

    Hi I've had my account a while now I've only just noticed my age is set to 2010 making me 12

    I have the account linked to my pc laptop gamepass and now my xbox

    I can't edit being 12 so added an organiser to the family and can't edit through that member is there anyway I can change the age its driving me nuts. Many thanks
    There is no way to change the age on your Xbox account. You can change the age on your Microsoft account but this will in no way affect your Xbox account

    live accounts got the wrong age.

    You can't once set the age of an account can never be changed till it reaches the age of maturity

    So if you set it at the latest possible if I remember correctly that was 1999 or 2 something you will have to wait till it reaches 18

    If it has reached the age of maturity it will have promote child account to adult account under account management

    Changing the email nor the age of an windows live I'd will change this
