    Changing a child account to adult


    Hello!

    I need a help with Microsoft accounts, the Family Resource and Xbox One!

    I live in Brazil.

    I am a software developer and a client requested a feature in Windows 10 to block certain applications. With this, I used two accounts that have to form a family and so test the Windows 10 family resource. The account "A" was set up as an adult and the "B"
    account as a child, including a date of birth that results six years . I finished the test and gave feedback to the customer.

    Now, I got an Xbox One and to get the gamertag that would, I used the "B" account to link Xbox One. This account "B" I I linked some cards I got along with the console. When I download some games, I received notification that the account was a child. So
    I entered the account settings and unlinked settings Family. Removed the account "B" of the family account "A" and changed the birth date of the account "B" resulting in 38 years. Thus, there is no longer a set family, and the account "B" would be an adult
    account.

    But for the purposes of Xbox One, the bill is still being considered as a account child/adolescent. Twice I tried to solve this problem through the Microsoft chat. In the end, they directed me to open a question in this forum.

    How do I unlink "definitely" the family settings between accounts, so that the account "B" is considered as an adult account?

    I can not lose this account, because activated in the same bonuses that gained by purchasing the Xbox.

    att,

    Rodrigo

    Adult to child Account

    How do we change an adult account to a child account. We tried changing the birthdate, but it still says it is an adult account.

    Changing the birthdate under the profile doesn't changes a child account into adult account

    Changing a child account to adult

    You don't

    You have to wait till the age of the account turns 18

    Not what you changed it to

    Once set the date of birth of an account cannot be charged

    Hello ngocphi!

    So, but I live in Brazil and when I edited the account settings of the Microsoft Web site allowed to change the birth date of the account.

    But this change had no effect.

    You know if you can download the Live from one account to the other? Because activated this account "B" cards that came with the Xbox One.

    Att,

    Rodrigo

    Doesn't matter

    You can change the ms account all you want including another ms account it has no affect on the age of the account

    Once set the age of an account is set is Stone

    You will have to create another account for 360 purchases if that's the issue with the correct region settings

    FYI changing the ms account onky makes it worse

    Even if the new ms account is an "adult " account

    You just made it a child to be controlled by the parental account on your xbox parental settings

    Did account "A" remove account "B" from THEIR Family settings at Microsoft.com under the account settings? My brother had the same problem. He is 18 and under my family settings, he is under a "child account" because initially he was under 18. I had to remove
    him and add him again as an adult. When choosing to add a family member it asks if its a "child" or "adult". THE FAMILY settings does not take into consideration the age of the account holder, but how you categorize it under the Family settings. That will
    affect all online aspects regardless if the account holder is of adult age. The only remedy is for the original adult, in your case, Adult "A" has to completely remove "Account B". I find it strange you removed yourself, since child accounts don't have an
    option to do so on the family settings on Microsoft.com. This cannot be done on an Xbox console unless you're using the Edge Browser, not under the console's own Family Settings.

    In my case I added my brother again, chose adult, and now his ms/xbox account is listed as an Adult. He can now play Fortnite and buy Game Pass subscription without asking for permission or being blocked access. In your case your
    now adult account can be removed again so you and Person "A" are not considered a family under Microsoft's family settings. This does not affect if you're game sharing and setting up a different Home Console for Xbox One.

    Hope this helps.

    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.

    Is the account in question a child's or adult's account? If its a child account you may want to change it to an adult account and give it a shot.

    Parental control settings

    I can't remember 100% but I am sure whoever set up the child account can change it. Like if you made an adult account on the xbox before making the child account that adult account can change wether the child account is a child account or and adult one.
    I will just test this out myself now and post how it went

    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.
