    Change to a child account


    My son is using his Xbox One logged in with my MS adult account.

    I want him to start using it with his MS child account.

    Can I move his current gamertag to his child account?

    Can I move the Xbox Gold Live subscription so it works with his child account, or is this just associated with the device?

    Thanks

    Andrew

    Privacy & Safety settings different between Xbox and Website

    Hey Xwarrior,

    Did this account graduate naturally from a child account to an adult account or was there a birthday change attempt? You can change the birthdate to the Microsoft account but it will not change the birthdate that was entered originally to the Xbox profile.

    In other words, a child account will remain a child account until it graduates naturally to an adult account. No way around it.

    Change to a child account

    I have the same question. I want my son to login to Xbox with his email so I can put limits on how long he plays. He currently uses my hotmail account to login. He doesn't want to lose his Fortnite progress, so he continues to login with my email.

    His email is set up as a child account under my account. When he logs in, he doesn't have access to xbox live either. I would think it would carry over since it's all under the same parent account.

    Is it possible to transfer everything to a child's email account?

    Thanks!

    Nothing can be transferred between accounts.

    If you are on the one, set the console as your Home console and that will allow him to access your gold.

    How can I switch my adult account to a childs account and make a new adult account

    You can change a child account to an adult account, but you can't change an adult account to a child account. In order to manage them, you would have to create new child accounts for them.

    Xbox broadcasting problem

    Only an adult (parental account) can make the changes in privacy settings for a child account. The child account can't perform the changes itself.

    You can't exactly change a child account to an adult account until the child has actually turned 18. However, you can change their permissions. You need to log into the adult account, and under family settings, you can change the permissions of your child's
    account.

    Once you register an xbox live account as a child account you can't change it. The parental account can change privacy settings of the child account though.
