  1. Can I move my Xbox One profile from one MS account to another?


    I need to put screen time limits on my child and he has been using my MS account for playing his Xbox One which has all of his games he has purchased and his gaming profile. Can I transfer his profile and games to his child account so I can place screen
    time limits on his account? It doesn’t appear I can put screen time limits on an adult account. Thank you

    :)

  2. Help with account management

    MS generated mess:

    Back in 2009 I bought an xbox, created an account with my main email address and by mistake ended up with a gamertag name I really dislike, the one you currently see on this posts. Called MS customer service and at the time they explained that I could not:

    - change the gamertag unless I paid a fee (which I didn't pay)

    - delete the profile to start anew

    - unlink my email from the account

    Basically they said that the only was was to create a completely new profile with a different email. So I used and old and unused email account just for this purpose.

    Now with Win 10 login which uses the MS account associated with my main email I again have to deal with the unwanted xbox profile.

    So, how can I get rid of this profile and get the one from the email I don't use?

    Should I create yet another MS account and move the profile from account 1 to account 3 so as to free account 1 and thus be able to move the profile from account 2 to account 1?

    Hi,

    Unfortunately you can't switch a profile to a different MS account from the Xbox One, currently the only way to do it is from an Xbox 360:

  4. Can I move my Xbox One profile from one MS account to another?

    Hi there,

    We appreciate you reaching out to us with us. So, an adult profile is required to

    manage a child account
    and accounts are not transferable. You can technically create another adult account to manage the account he is already using, but you would need to manage it using a different e-mail and gamertag. Alternatively, if you create another
    account for your child, they would still be able to access the games downloaded on your account using
    the game share feature, but the child's save progress would be lost on all games. These are the only two options available.

  5. So if I create another adult account I can manage the adult account he is already using? I didn’t think you could manage the screen time on an adult account. How do I do that? It doesn’t give me the option to set screen time limits for the adult account
    he is using. I created a second adult account but it doesn’t let me set the screen time limits on the other adult account.

  6. You're actually correct, if limiting game time is the goal, you would not be able to do that to an adult account. This means the alternative suggestion would be the way to go for this scenario.
