Change an Organizer account to a Member account

JeffJohnsonGL · Aug 14, 2020

Why is there not a SIMPLE way to convert an Organizer account to a simple Member account on Xbox? It seems to be a fairly common problem when a parent sets up the account and uses their
info and then wants to turn it over to a child who has grown old enough. As I understand it if you just create a new account for that child all subscriptions and so forth are lost?

Thank you Salmoro. I have done this but the problem from what I understand is he is going to lose all that he has worked for in his games. Is there a way for that stuff to follow him to the new email addresss/member account?

Thanks again

Thank you Salmoro. Seems like it should be a little easier to change an Organizer to a Member. A lot of people make that mistake when first setting up their accounts it seems.

Have a good day.

The Xbox Profile content with the gaming progress and games content are all linked to the Microsoft email account that
your son has always been using. Unfortunately, they cannot be moved or be transferred to another created account.

So creating a new account email and add it as a member, won't help. Because a new created account is always blank, so it is normal that there will be nothing in it.

However, If you wish just to change your son's current signing email of his account ; You can add a new email as an alias to his current account and make it as Primary. You will find steps in the link below:

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE ORIGINAL EMAIL. ONCE YOU MAKE THE NEW ONE AS PRIMARY.

Hi,

To make any Microsoft/Xbox account as a Child (Member account), You must create a Family Group. To do that, First; You have to use another Microsoft account as a Parent (Organizer). Here is How:

Go to https://account.microsoft.com/family
Sign in with the other Microsoft account that will be the
Parent (Organizer), then select Add a family member.
Select Member
Enter the email address of your kid's account that you want to add as Member, then select Send invite.
In the Notifications section, select Accept now next to
Pending member.
You'll be signed out so the person you're trying to add can sign in to their account and accept the invitation.

More details can be found online at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12417/microsoft-account-add-members-to-family

And when you create a new account, there will be nothing on it, because it is New.

Hope It helps.

The organizer may need to remove the account first as a member and then re-add as an organizer? As the organizer she can not remover herself, I created another organizer who can not remove her organizer account or change it to member?
