Cannot Install Forza 4 or Halo Wars on Child Account (MS Family)

from the sounds of it



what you did is incorrect which is why you got the result you got

1st and foremost

child accounts on family plans cannot have a creditcard thats what the master account is for

2nd from the sounds of it you purchased the 800 ms points for the gamertag from the creditcard

thats not a bug

you just werent reading what you were doing

a child account cannot charge anything to the parental account including ms points for gamertag

thats not how family plan works

the only way to get 800mspoints for a family member on the family plan is not direct purchase

the primary account must purchase 800ms points and then allowance to the child account and you apply the gamertag change



you do not buy the gamertag change directly from the card from his account



only the primary account can have a creditcard on it any other account will have their creditcard info deleted upon joining the family plan

a child account cannot make a gamertag change without 800 ms points since they cannot buy using their parents account

the primary must purchase the 800ms points then allowance it to the child account then the gamertag gets changed



if a child account in a family plan tries to make a purchase it will say no payment method or not enough ms points if there is no ms points

im going to gather this is most likely the case

Halo!

Forza Horizon 4.

Gears of War

Forza 4

Gears of War 1,2,3

Halo ODST, Reach, Wars, Anniversary

That first error isnt an error by ms

Thats your account settings

Child accounts cannot by law download anything about family

Pg or m rated games arent allowrd by international laws

Hey there

You cannot transfer history on another account...

But you can leave this account to your kid and set as a child account, then make a new one for you and set a family so that you can control the kid account...

How do I set account as child? Will my email still be attached to the account? When my wife logs in to her separate MS family account, where this account was a parent, will it now be a child too?
