    Change primary admin account to be child account


    Foolishly, I let my kid use my account (admin account) for certain games. I want to give him access to the account for purposes of all the game progress, etc. but want to transfer the admin/payment info to a new account. I set up the new account just
    fine, and can reset the content levels on the existing admin account but I cannot remove the payment info on the existing admin account since it is linked to other MS subscriptions. How do I fix this?

    :)

    You can also change the settings on Xbox One once the child has been added to the Admin account family. Just have both accounts signed in, while under the Admin account go to Settings > Family > Then choose the Child Account to Manage Settings.

    I Need Access To My "Primary Account' on my Family Pack Memebership

    Since my child was suspended permanently from Xbox Live and theirs was the primary account for my family memberhsip, I need the primary account to be transferrred to another account on my memberhip. This must be done because I have no control over anything
    anymore since the primary account holder can no longer go online to change any preferences, etc. Will you give my child 24 hours leeway so we can go on and make the transfer? The banned account is THE RESOURCEFUL

    I await your reply....

    You would have to sign into that account at account.microsoft.com and turn off the auto renew on any subscription that it is currently active on then you would be able to remove the Payment option.

    Changing my Child Account to the Primary Account

    Hi, you cannot change the primary account holder once it has been set sorry. You would need to cancel your family pack and purchase a new family pack on the profile you want as the primary account.

    Help with setting up account for son

    You can't change the account from an adult to a child account. You can change the primary email associated with the account though, Which would free up yours

    Error Code: 801540B7

    What exactly do you mean by "admin account"? Is your account a parent of another account, or the Primary Account on a Family Plan?

    To test if you are a child account, can you please try downloading an M-rated demo or trailer and see if you are asked for a parent's email and password. Let me know, thanks!
